According to this article from the NYTimes Nalgene is going to stop making water bottles with the chemical bisphenol-a. I've been speaking up about this for about a year now. Bisphenol-a mimics some hormones and could be particularly damaging for infants. We'll see where this goes.
While the chemical makers are claiming that not enough study has been done, it's clear that we should stop using the chemical until we know it is safe. There are plenty of alteratives - both plastic and stainless steel.
What I didn't know before reading this article is that soda cans are lined with an epoxy that contains bisphenol-a. Bummer. I guess I have to stop drinking soda from cans. That's okay, most of the soda I like comes in glass bottles.
