Back in the 1960's someone told me they would not drink out of a Glass or
Cup made of Plastic, They only drank from glasses made of Glass or cups
that came with their Plate Set.
Back then I would drink from either unless the plastic glass gave a
"Plastic Taste" to what I was drinking in it.

You know what, plastic taste is often deemed harmless,
but my thinking is that if you can taste it, there's
enough badness to cause trouble somewhere along the line.

Lately after I finish drinking the contents from a 16 ounce Soda bottle
it will be washed and filled with Water or Tea and kept in the 'frige for later use.
In my computer room I drink water from a 32 ounce Powerade plastic bottle.

Probably okay if you don't leave the bottles too long.

I have been thinking about asking about Plastic in here to see what others may say about drinking from reused plastic containers.

My sister died from colon and liver cancer. She had
been biking 50 miles a day in training for 100 miles
a day in the Pyrenees. Several of her biking friends
also came down with urinary or digestive tract cancers.
At the time, I wanted them to investigate Nalgene bottles
(she died in 2002), because that was the only factor
other than bicycling that was in obvious common in all
the cases. I'm now figuring that the increased metabolism
(exercise, terrible for you in excess) combined with the
plastic leachate from the bottles (terrible for you
period) and some environmental factor local to the place
made people get cancer.

The Shields are DOWN, FIRE AWAY!

Problem is that we have no clear control over whether
our bodies' shields are up or down.
