I saw the Today show one morning last week and they did a piece about water drinking bottles and which numbers to avoid. My DD is always drinking out of a pink one, so I told her that the No.7 should be avoided. She was blase about it but I sent her the website to check her bottle. Next day she sent me an email to say she had thrown her pink one away as the plastic can cause breast cancer as the chemical mimic estrogen. The website is:
www.IATP.org She also just sent me the following websites which give more information so you can make an educated decision.
