And because it is so widely used, the concerns surrounding it are severe. To help you understand more about this chemical, and particularly how it affects your water bottle use, we have put together five things you need to know about BPA and BPA-free water bottles. A growing amount of research links Bisphenol A to some major health concerns, such as a higher risk of certain cancers, reduced fertility, diabetes, and birth defects. These concerns even lead to a California ban on BPA. The state also added it to its list of toxic chemicals.
BPA-free water bottles reduce these concerns by eliminating the chemical from its material. As scientific evidence continued to mount over the last decade, more and more companies were pressured to remove BPA from their products.
Nalgene, one of the most famous reusable water bottle brands, recalled all of their bottles containing the chemical and removed it from all future products.
With a company this big taking the step to remove BPA, others followed suit. This kept prices competitive across the market.
