For the past few of years, food safe and BPA free plastic has been marketed as a healthy option to other forms of plastic. However, every plastic container leaches harmful chemicals into the food or drink that is stored within it.
Did you know that the plastic used for making water bottles and other beverage containers actually leeches Antimony into the fluids? Antimony is a toxic chemical which is believed to be carcinogenic. And not only that, the chemicals can ruin the taste of juice, water or anything stored in the bottles. Not to mention that the plastic water bottles take years to degrade, thus causing irreparable damage to the environment.
But you really don’t need plastic bottles when you have a healthier alternative: stainless steel bottles and flasks. These bottles and flasks are made from food grade stainless steel which means they do not leech any harmful chemicals in your drinks. And it’s not just about the health factor alone. Stainless steel bottles and flasks come with other advantages too:· They are durable and reusable. How many times have you used a plastic water bottle? Stainless steel bottles can be reused for a lifetime.
· And of course, stainless steel bottles and flasks have better aesthetics value, which means you look stylish too while carrying a stainless steel bottle, unlike the plastic ones.
Still looking for a reason to opt for stainless steel bottles?
