Plastic water bottles or containers are very convenient means of carrying water and storing foodstuffs. It is very light weight and unbreakable.
We should not be thinking of convenience alone but rather the long term health prospects of using those plastic utensils.
We cannot avoid them totally but we can try to minimize their use .We should choose those water bottles very carefully in order to prevent chemicals in the plastic from leaching into your water.
Plastic water bottles are made from oil and most of these water bottles are not recycle and end up in landfills and causing environmental pollutions. It would take a very long time for them to decompose.
If it is a #2 HDPE (high density polyethylene), or a #4 LDPE (low density polyethylene), or a #5 PP (polypropylene), your bottle is fine.
The type of plastic bottle in which Reverse osmosis (R.O water ) or mineral water is usually sold is usually a #1, and is only recommended for one time use only.
They are made from polyethylene terephthalate (Pete). They should be discarded and not reused again and again. Ignore this warning at your own perils.
Many people reuse this type of bottle till it turns or fade in colour. This is bad for your health.
The long-term use of such plastic bottles may lead to the release of cancer-causing chemicals such as bisphenol-A (BPA).
Bisphenol A is a xenoestrogen. Synthetic xenoestrogens are linked to breast cancer and uterine cancer in women, decreased testosterone levels in men, and are particularly devastating to babies and young children.
BPA has even been linked to insulin resistance and Type 2 Diabetes
We should think of our children's health and try to stop using plastic water bottles or food containers.Instead of using them we should use glass or ceramic containers to store the food.
