When it comes to exposure from polycarbonate plastic bottles, it's not whether the container is new or old but the liquid's temperature that has the most impact on how much Bisphenol A is released,.

Mathom Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 No you won't die, well, not from having a bottle of Buxton water anyhow. I read up on this last year because there was a scare over baby bottles. There isn't any significant risk unless you are using scratched plastics and heating them to a high degree, and it applies to the hard plastics, not the soft ones. And BPA can cause hormonal disturbance and learning problems. Note 'can', not 'will'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beryllium Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Kidley, I think YOU should read the link again. It explains the risks of Bisphenol A and also where it is used - in rigid plastic bottles rather than flexible disposable bottles. It's in the final paragraph - maybe you lost interest half way through... This shouldn't be in the Sheffield discussions either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
