See? I was only a few steps ahead of the game on this one. Yes, I know I didn’t come up with the evidence, but it was only a few months ago that I set my beloved Nalgenes to rest (RIP dear trusty water bottle), and suddenly it’s making news more and more frequently than ever before.
I swear it was causing me extreme PMS. The real basic explanation: The Bisphenol-A (BPA) that leeches from the plastic into your liquids acts like a false estrogen. Estrogen is something we have to be cautious about when it comes to putting more of it into our bodies. This chemical has a similar structure to estrogen, and our bodies process it somewhat like estrogen. Have you ever heard of the idea that drinking too much soy milk (which has a sort of similar process in our bodies) can increase the risk of breast cancer? Well, it’s sort of like that.
Anyway, you may want to start thinking about ditching your polycarbonates…
