Please check the bottom of your water bottles before you purchase them
Never purchase a plastic bottle with a number 7 located in the triangle. It MIGHT contain Bisphenol A. It effects hormones, etc.. see the video.

Re: Please check the bottom of your water bottles before you purchase them
Technically, 7 just means Other. It never guarantees what it is made of. It might not contain Bisphenol A at all.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_bottles
The code number is also supplemented by the common letter indication for the various resins under the symbol, to serve as a constant verification of the material sorted. For example, 1 type plastics are made of PETE, 2 and 4 type plastics are made of Polyethylene, 5 type plastics are made of Polypropylene, and 7 type plastics can be made of a variety of things, such as polycarbonates (some with Bisphenol A), multi-layer structures, etc. Some numbers are not available to the general public in some areas due to local laws and concerns, 3 and 6 type plastics being the most common.

True, but I would rather be safe than sorry. It states above some might be made with Bispenol A, so how would you really know if it is or not in a number 7 plastic?
