[drew einhorn]

The plastics industry says polycarbonate bottles are safe.

I'm sure Maggie and here friends would say ALL plastic bottles are
very dangerous.

This lady seems to be at a reasonable middle ground.

Polycarbonate plastics the kind of bottle you bought contains BPA.
"In 2006 Europe banned all products made for children under age 3
containing BPA, and as of Dec. 2006 the city of San Franscisco
followed suit. In March 2007 a billion-dollar class action suit was
commenced against Gerber, Playtex, Evenflo, Avent, and Dr. Brown's in
Los Angeles superior court for harm done to babies caused by drinking
out of baby bottles and sippy cups containing BPA. So, to be certain
that your baby is not exposed, use glass bottles"

She suggests that if you really want a plastic bottle, get ones made
from a different kind of plastic.

But she really recommeds storing water in glass, brass, or ceramic bottles.

She does not discuss aluminum.

Here's another author on aluminum.

The problem with aluminum is.  What is the inside of the water bottle
lined with?

Sigg water bottle from Switzerland are the highly recommended, but expensive.
Here's a Sigg clone for $12.00
