Dangers of Plastic Water Bottles

Dangers of Plastic Water Bottles

Plastic is considered to be one of the greatest innovations of the 20th century. It has been widely used in the United States since 1976. However, not all plastics are safe. Plastic water containers protect us against water-borne diseases. But plastics may contain some chemicals that are really dangerous to human health. Plastics also pose serious threats to the environment we live in.

Chemicals in Plastic Bottles Damage our Bodies

During plastic manufacturing dioxins are produced. These chemicals are extremely toxic even at low doses. They disrupt our endocrine system. Dioxins may also damage the immune system and affect reproduction. Constant dioxin exposure can cause a severe skin disease known as chloracne. Excessive body hair, skin discoloration, and skin rashes can also appear as a result of dioxin exposure.

A lot of water bottles are made with plastics that contain bisphenol A (BPA). This chemical is really hazardous. It can change the normal hormonal activity of your body. BPA can be found in baby bottles as well. Bisphenol A exposure has a lot of dangerous side effects. This chemical is linked to diabetes, obesity, breast cancer, testicular cancer, miscarriages, and other reproductive failures.

BPA is widely used for making hard and clear plastic known as polycarbonate. This chemical is used not only in water bottles but in food-storage containers as well. BPA is especially dangerous to pregnant women and infants. Use glass, stainless steel, and porcelain containers to lower your BPA exposure. Think about getting a high-quality water filtration system.

You can minimize your exposure to BPA if you start purchasing products that do not contain this chemical. You should also use plastics that have such recycling numbers as 1, 2, or 5. Use glass baby bottles. You should also install a water filtration system in order to prevent chemicals from getting into your drinking water.

Water ionizers successfully filter and ionize water. Such water ionizers as the Revelation 2 Water Ionizer will turn your tap water into the safest and healthiest type of water.

Plastic water bottles can leach antimony into the water you drink. Chemical leaching takes place when the water is kept in a plastic bottle for a long period of time. Are there any toxic plastics in your kitchen? Probably. Plastics can be found in every kitchen.

You should store water in a glass container if you want to keep it always fresh. Plastic by-products that get into the water can affect its purity and taste. The longer you keep water in a plastic bottle, the more dangerous it becomes. Glass preserves the quality and taste of drinking water. Moreover, glass is environmentally friendly. It can be recycled over and over again. So, glass is the safest water container.

The vast majority of people who drink bottled water do not even know how dangerous it may be. Scientists suppose that small amounts of BPA can be safely consumed. But they can’t say for sure. We cannot prevent this chemical from being used. However, we can minimize our exposure to it. Choose the right water containers and drink safe, alkaline water only!
