As I understand it, bisphenol-a, or B.P.A is found in some clear hard plastics. I understand that Nalgene bottles for example have the chemical. I have also heard that plastic with the #7 inside the recycling symbol have the chemical. Is there any thing else i should look for? Do all hard clear plastic have the chemical?If you have a source that would be helpful, i know there is a lot of informtion out there, but it%26#039;s hard to know what is truth and what is fiction.

My problem is that I think this whole issue has been exaggerated beyond all belief. If you do a lot of research you will find that there have only been several very small studies done and on the basis of these and some other misinformation that all of this has come about. The plain and simple fact is that this chemical has been used for about 50 years and there isn%26#039;t any concrete confirmation that it does anything. Having said that though what I am doing is using glass or metal containers when I can and hand washing my Nalgene bottles in warm soapy water. I don%26#039;t fill them with hot water anyway, they get filled with cold water and put in the fridge. I%26#039;m not going to toss bottles that cost me $10 each when there is no definative proof anywhere. Besides that we%26#039;ve been using plastic bottles for years and years and microwaved them and thus far most people are happy and healthy.

It%26#039;s 3,6 or 7. Basically throw away and don%26#039;t buy anything that has those numbers on the bottom. Check everything. I%26#039;ve found water bottle, food containers. Scary...
