but not all number 7. The 7 is "other" which the BPA bottles fall under.

Apparently it only applies if you drink hot liquid from these containers. Cold or warm liquids are apparently harmless.

i heard that if you freeze the water in the bottle and will let out what ever chemicals that are in the plastic which can cause cancer. but really it doesn't matter now a days everything causes cancer...

I used to drink out of a water bottle that gave me a mouth condition that is hard to describe. Not open sores or anything, but just a lousy mungy discomfort. Primarily of the gums. I thought I just wasn't washing it thoroughly enough. When this public warning came out I checked the bottle. Number 7. Aha! Needless to say, I don't have that bottle anymore. If in doubt, throw it out.

Cheers,

canada is banning use in baby bottles for now, research i think in england or somewhere else could only extract about 10 mg of bpa under extreme conditions and found a babys safe daily intake of bpa is 250mg
so i guess if you baby drinks 250 liters of boiling liquid id be worried
im quite shure canada is just making a big deal right now so they cant be blamed for doing nothing later if testing doses show its harmfull, its been around a long time aand its in almost everything so im not gonna worry
