    Bottled Water - Chemical Contamination



    ‘Widespread consumer demand for plastic products that are free of the hormone-disrupting chemical bisphenol-A (BPA) has led to some significant positive changes in the way that food, beverage and water containers are manufactured.

    But a new study out of Germany has found that thousands of other potentially harmful chemicals are still leeching from plastic products into food and beverages, including an endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDC) known as di(2-ethylhexyl) fumarate, or DEHF, that is completely unregulated.

    Martin Wagner and his colleague, Jorg Oehlmann, from the Goethe University Frankfurt, in conjunction with a team of researchers from the German Federal Institute of Hydrology, learned this after conducting tests on 18 different bottled water products to look for the presence of EDCs. Using an advanced combination of bioassay work and high-resolution mass spectrometry, the team identified some 24,520 different chemicals present in the tested water.’

    Aluminium pans & tefal coatings are also a no no.

    Stainless, glass, or iron, are much better & there are now pans with a non-stick coating that doesn't leech chemicals into your food !

    Yes, coca cola in plastic bottles is bad enough but coca cola in aluminium cans = molotov cocktail
