Polycarbonate Drinking Bottles a Safe Alternative
The Medical Sanctuary Holistic Medical Centre
Polycarbonate water bottles are a safe alternative to most other plastic bottles that can allow leaching of chemicals into your drinks.
We are now becoming well aware of the dangers associated with low grade plastics. The chemicals used to give plastic its flexibility are dangerous toxins. These chemicals have a very similar chemical structure to oestrogen and therefore have the ability to perform oestogen functions in the body. Just consider how many products you use that have been packaged and stored in low grade plastic!
There has been suggestions that these bottles still leach Bisphenol A. According to the manufacturers very small amounts may be leached if the bottle is exposed to extreme heat but they are meaning temperatures way above anything that personal or household use comes into contact with. It has also been suggested that over time and much usage chemicals could still be leached out into the liquid. Again, the manufacturers dispute this.
We suggest you do your own research and decide for yourself. We believe it is the safest affordable personal drinking bottle currently available so we have acquired a stock of the bottles, both 600ml and 1ltr which can be purchased at the Medical Sanctuary Practice.
