“there are all sorts of nasty compounds in plastics that can lead to all sorts of nasty health defects.
 
The water may sit in these bottles for years, be transported over great distances and go through countless variations in temperature, not to mention the possibility of them being exposed to high heat if they end up sitting in the sun.
 
Plastic is not the most un-reactive of materials, and if you have heard that you shouldn’t reheat foods in plastic containers, just imagine what sitting in a plastic bottle for that amount of time and through that range of conditions can do to the water inside those bottles. “
 
 
wow This is crazy! i never thought about the dangers of drinking water from a plastic bottle. I am sure those bottles sit in 100 degree heat for a LONG period of time!!
 
I will think twice about buying a bottle of water..i guess it is safer adn cheaper to buy a brita filter.

They don’t teach this in school… heck i don’t’ even know if most teachers are aware of this danger…
 
In the publics eyes, they see a clean new, good tasting water that is sealed.  They don’t think about how old the bottle is or how long it was sitting in the heat for…
