But we also have to use
common sense and choose the greatest benefit at any given time. If your
choice was to drink spring water in the polycarbonate bottle or drink tap
water
or drink no water at all on a hot summer day, I would say drink the purer
spring water in the polycarbonate bottle.
Once in a while, a single exposure will not do much harm. But you
don't want to be using water contained in a Lexan polycarbonate resin
bottle as your everyday source of water
supply, or drink from these bottles all day long, every day.
There ARE other options.
THERE ARE BETTER OPTIONS
My best recommendation is to get a good water
filter that is
right for your water and filter your water at home. That way
there is no questionable leaching at all. Even though this
may be expensive, it is one of the best investments you can
make in your health and will save thousands of dollars in
medical expenses in the long run.
For those of you who carry or purchase water in the small,
single-serving Lexan polycarbonate bottles, you can purchase plastic-free
refillable bottles in various sizes to suit your needs. They are
lightweight and much more attractive than the disposable plastic bottles.
It's a good idea, particularly in the summertime, to carry clean water
with you, as your body needs water throughout the day for good health. The
Mayo Clinic suggests you divide your weight in half and drink that many
ounces of water every day. So if you weigh 128 pounds, that would be 64
ounces or 8 8-ounce glasses of water per day. It's better to carry your
own clean water in a safe container than drink tap water or water in a
plastic bottle.
