Many articles have been written about the health benefits of staying hydrated. Since nearly 2/3 of our bodies are comprised of water, it plays a vital role in our wellbeing. Among the many benefits to drinking water is that it helps to rid our bodies of toxins. So, when you make the choice to purchase a new water bottle, it’s important to look for one that is free of harmful chemicals and toxins. You want your water bottle to be safe.

A vast majority of water bottles on the market are plastic, many of which contain the harmful chemical, Bisphenol A. BPA is an endocrine disruptor with estrogen-like effects. Even the alternative plastic water bottles which are said to be BPA free contain synthetic chemicals, the effects of which have not been sufficiently tested.

We always get excited when a company we love comes out with a new, updated product. Klean Kanteen has done just that with the first of its kind - the modern and sleek Reflect water bottle. Made with absolutely ZERO plastic or paint, this bottle is made only from stainless steel with bamboo and a ring of silicone in the cap. Even the logo is laser etched! The bottle comes in two finishes: brushed and mirrored silver.

This reusable, durable and extremely lightweight 27 oz. water bottle is made of non-leaching high grade 304 (18/8) stainless steel. This stainless steel is put through a electropolishing process which seals the surface and prevents minerals from migrating into the bottle's contents. Therefore, these reusable stainless steel water bottles will not impart taste or leach toxins into their contents.  In addition, this high grade 304 stainless steel has an excellent resistance to stain and rust not found in other grades of stainless steel such as 202 and 430.  Read more...

It seems like everywhere we go there is a water bottle for sale. Most are plastic though, with some type of logo promoting an attraction or a sports team or even a school! Unfortunately, many of the water bottles touted around by kids also contain BPA.

The chemical Bisphenol A, (BPA) is routinely used to coat the inside of aluminum bottles with a plastic or epoxy lining and in the lining of cans to prevent corrosion and food contamination. It is also used to make plastic bottles transparent and shatterproof. BPA is also an endocrine disruptor - a substance which interferes with the body's natural hormones. BPA can imitate our body's own hormones in a way that can be extremely harmful to many stages of natural development and kids are especially sensitive to the effects of BPA.
