Question in Quality of Plastic Bottle

The Polycarbonate bottle was getting famous ever since few years back. In year 2005, I got my 1st polycarbonate bottle, Connie bought from S'pore for steph and me. It was well known with it's safe for daily usage, even ok with warn/hot water. Over the past 4 years, WH and I was using the same kind of bottles without any doubt.

I read from newspaper last weekend, Penang Consumer Association indicate the polycarbonate is not safe to use as it will produce Bisphenol A. Bisphenol A will affect our health negatively, for example genital damages,deterioration of breast cancer tissues and reduce the amount of sperm for male.

Now only I know there is a code embossed at the bottom of bottle, the higher the code doesn't means it is safe or more stable for use. I noticed all my polycarbonate bottles with code 7, who knows it is the one made by polycarbonate and will produce Bisphenol A. Sigh... Immediately.. WH asked me to change my water bottle to Thermos' stainless steel bottle. It is heavy .. but safe to use.. May be you need to consider to change your water bottle.. :)
