ok, ok, ok... let me get this straight... drinking water from plastic bottles over duration is bad for breasts - but sticking plastic bags of saline or sillicone into them is ok??

hmmm...

the idea behind it is when you drink from a bottle the bacteria in your mouth transfers to the bottle through backwash, when the bottle is left in a car or anyware warm for that matter, it creates a petri dish for the bacteria to grow then as you drink again you drink some mutated virus that may lead to cancer. but its like they say, every thing goodin this world either is illegal, imorral, or causes cancer

I assure you if these containers were not safe the FDA would not allow such products to be on the shelves.
Er, well, the FDA is not infallible. But maybe you meant that facetiously.

Either way, I'm not throwing out my Nalgene bottle.

Nalgene is the best.

That is all.

Me neither.

Plenty of retailers have taken them off shelves here in Toronto though and I got a dirty look the other day for drinking out of one on the subway the other day, wtf is that?!?
