Jess ~ Basically some plastics contain a chemical called Bisphenal A. This chemical can cause some problems and even cancer. As the plastic wears, it releases this chemical into whatever is in the container. This type of plastic is found in hard plastic bottles such as Nalgene water bottles. You need to look at the bottom of your bottle, if it has the number 7 potentially have the chemical in them. I am in no means an expert, so if you are concerned or have questions, please do your own research on the topic.
If you do a google search for Bisphenal A and Water Bottles it will give you a lot of articles discussing this topic. Here are a couple that I found useful: http://www.nbcsandiego.com/health/15848906/detail.html http://www.nbcsandiego.com/health/15948272/detail.html http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/...plastic09.html
