Many people have been using refillable metal containers as a healthier and environmentally friendlier alternative to water in plastic bottles. However, aluminum water bottles are typically lined with a type of plastic because no-one likes to drink straight from aluminum as it just doesn’t taste right and there is a potential health hazard from ingesting aluminum.
The problem is that the plastic liner is typically an epoxy resin whose “key building block,” according to the American Chemistry Council, is BPA. Bisphenol A, a chemical which can mimic human estrogen and which is linked to breast cancer and early puberty in women.
To avoid the dangers of BPA, consider stainless steel water bottles which do not need a plastic liner and are a great refillable alternative to plastic bottled water
