Plastic water bottles, cups, & straws can leach endocrine-disrupting chemicals - such as BPA and phthalates - especially when exposed to heat or reused.
These chemicals can interfere with the body’s hormone system, potentially affecting metabolism, reproduction, and developmental processes.
Glass and stainless steel materials are better choices.
The source of your water matters too. Tap water in many areas is contaminated by PFAS "forever chemicals", heavy metals like lead and arsenic, nitrates, microplastics, industrial solvents, and disinfection byproducts. Check your own tap water score: www.ewg.org/tapwater/
Invest in water filtration for your home, such as a reverse osmosis under sink filter or the countertop version shown below.
