Is it just the BPA?!

January 16, 2010

If you read my bio, you are probably familiar with my obsession of chocolates, but believe me, I try to make an effort here and there to be healthy.

I’ve tried that eight-glasses-of-water-a-day routine for starters, but it was hard back in the days when I could only carry it around my hectic lifestyle in a plastic water bottle. The water bottles were generally too large and worst of all, it instilled a totally yucky taste to the water I came to learn was the result of something hazardous known as BPA.

Well I’m glad our government eventually stepped in and put a ban on it. So now we are left with the stainless steel bottles which I happily bought. As you can see on the picture, mine is pink with pretty flowers printed on to really add some fun to each sip!

However, the fun stopped when I started to taste a hint of steel after leaving the water in for a day. It’s not as pungent as the evil BPA, but something didn’t seem right about this mysterious flavour. What could it be!? What do I do?

And whats with that cardboard taste you get from drinking milk from a carton? And that plastic when drinking milk out of a pitcher?

I’m no chemist, but from my experience the only safest way to perserve liquids and their flavours seems to be from glass. So where do I get a water bottle made out of glass?
