I saw this report on the today show earlier this week and they said that no plastic is really safe to drink out of. The sad thing is that everyone thinks that we are just now discovering these problems with our water. Pharmaceuticals in our drinking water and chemicals in bottled water are not new problems we have known about it for years. Help support the bottled water ban by visiting http://www.bottledwaterblues.com and spread the awareness. The more people know about the harmful things that bottled water does the better!
