There is no question that water is beneficial to the body. But for those who rely on bottled water there may be a potentially harmful downside. Plastic bottles can contain chemicals like Phthalates and bisphenol A that seep into the water within. These toxins disrupt the endocrine system, interfering with hormonal balance to trigger symptoms like Weight gain and fatigue. To keep your bottle water supply safe, follow these tips.

1. Pay attention to Expiration Dates

2. Check the number of the plastic,
Turn over a plastic bottle and you will see a triangle shaped code. That resin code reveals the type of plastic used, You are likely to find

PP5; Polypropylene plastic can easily be molded so it is made with fewer chemicals than other types of bottles. It is the safest and works well for refillable sports bottles.

HDPE2; High density polyethylene has not been linked to leaching. It is often the type of plastic used for gallon jugs ans other beverages.

PET (or PETE)1; Polyethylene terephthalate is the manufacturers most popular choice for single serve water.It is economic and deemed safe for one time use. How ever refilling these bottles may increase the change that the chemicals will leach out.

3.Water Down Damage ans Elements
Both refillable and single use bottles can create weak areas which give toxins like aldehydes and bisphenol A an easy way out. To avoid the problems, do not drink from reusable models that bear signs of age or disposable bottles with dings and dents.
Freezing water bottles can create tiny surface cracks, which create a pathway for toxins.
Heat is another factor that speeds up the breakdown of plastic and increases the release of chemicals. It is suggested that any bottle previously stored in a hot car or left outside in the summer sun should be tossed.
Stay Safe
Water is good for the body as long as it is not filled with unnecessary chemicals.

Great info! We bought some stainless steel water bottles and use filtered water from our kitchen to fill them.

Saves money too!
