  • A common question that many people ask when buying a reusable water bottle is, will this bottle be safe to drink from every day? It's important to know that your bottles are safe for you and your family to use, so in this video, we are going to take a closer look at seven types of water bottle materials: plastic, stainless steel, glass, aluminum, copper, silicone, and titanium. Our goal is to give you a better understanding of the available options on the market today so you can make the best decision for your situation.
    Disclaimer: This video is starting to get a lot of attention! Thanks to everyone for their comments and feedback. Please keep in mind that I'm not a scientist or authority on safety for these materials. I did my best to gather verified information from reliable sources to come up with this review and summarize it for entertainment purposes in this video, but I'm sure there are details I missed. Also, new information and research is always coming out, so eventually this video will become more out-of-date as more research is completed. Please use the information from this review at your own discretion, and I encourage you to research more yourself if you have more questions and concerns. Thank you!

    The best combination I've ever found is a glass water bottle wrapped with a thick silicone sleeve (plus a stainless steel cap with a silicone seal). Although I've had mine for years and years without issue, I can't seem to find an exact replacement anymore. Hopefully I don't need to

      @RoguePC4U it's super rare, and when there is one, it could hold only the size of a drinking glass with a non-threaded silicone lid. Maybe because most ceremic glass/bottle are handmade. I would pay a premium just to get a decently sized ceramic bottle.

    Added problem is micro plastics. The twisting motion of sealing a lid makes micro plastics through friction. It could also happen with rubber. The best sealing method is the old bottles with the wire lever and rubber seal. No twisting motion. The first 316 SS bottle with this seal get's my money.

    • @johnmontana8540
      @johnmontana8540 Місяць тому +3

      I’ve wondered about this. But do you know if micro plastics can theoretically be released as long as you have that cap or is there a point, after so much use and washing that the microplastics stop being released? Also wondering bc I’m doing away with plastic single use water bottles, how much better is a plastic cap vs stainless cap? Is it marginal and splitting hairs or truly worth finding stainless?

    • @pepessz32
      @pepessz32 25 днів тому

      the amount of micro plastics from our bottle is far from what's polluted our environment and then digested into our system. I'm not saying you're wrong, but if you look at the broader picture it's much more terrifying than just a chipped plastic from our water bottle.

    I suspect that the most significant contaminants are those produced by friction between the bottle and cap. I have not yet seen a design that avoids the microscopic scraping of material from (usually a plastic) lid. A clamp system with a natural rubber seal would be my preferred option, but nobody makes one as far as I am aware.

    I started using Kleen Kanteen bottles about 15 years ago, and have never had a single bad experience. I prefer non-insulated/single wall, because I do sometimes put my bottles in a fire to boil the water. while the fallacy that insulated bottles will "Explode" if you put them in a fire seems to have it's own life, and just won't die. the insulated walls WILL expand, and seams will rupture. not explode, but open the seams to basically ruin the bottle. I don't like plastic ( I have used Nalgene, but don't like them) because not only can you not boil water in them, but if they fall in the wrong way, or on the wrong surface they can crack. this is counter productive in wilderness environments. this is also why I won't have a glass bottle. I have seen Nalgene, and similar bottles break and they always do it at the worst time. several of my Kleen Kanteen bottles have multiple dents, and carbon "burn in" but they work perfectly. As to the "health benefit" claims form ANY product sales company. I don't believe anything I hear/read out of hand. Unless I can find actual credible research, I just don't buy it.

      Very good comment, and all good points. I'm planning a video or series later this year to seriously look at some hydration and bottle myths like hydrogen water and structured water. I'm personally skeptical whenever someone claims massive, hard-to-prove benefits like that, so it could be worth a deep dive given all the claims by companies and listing on Amazon. And I hadn't heard about the exploding vacuum bottle myth. Might be worth a video fo its own by doing insulation tests before and after boiling.

    All I know is that someone has to be crazy to spend $10 and up for a water bottle.
    Since the water you put into a bottle for a daily hike really doesn't stay in a hard plastic repurposed iced tea bottle to leech much of anything, I'd save the money that I'd piss away on a water bottle and put it in the bank.
    I'm in my 70s and grew up in a house with iron water pipes...then moved to a house with copper water pipes...and have drunk tap water all of my life. I also gardened for a living and drank from hoses daily after letting the water run to clear out the standing water. I'm still alive, very active and have no major health issues.
    Nobody should be keeping water in any bottle for longer than a day anyway.

    The plastic bottle section of the vid isn't exactly accurate. Tritan/"BPA-free" plastic still leaches chemicals with estrogenic effects on the body. From a 2014 study: "Many unstressed and stressed, PC-replacement-products made from acrylic, polystyrene, polyethersulfone, and Tritan™ resins leached chemicals with EA, including products made for use by babies."

      That study you referenced was from a biased source. George D Bittner owed a plastic company that made "EA free plastics" based on his definition of EA free. But his company lost a lawsuit after fasely claiming that Tritian had EA.
      Tritan is different from other BPA free plastics as it doesn't have BPS & other BPA equivalents.

      @mobilefun7837 Місяць тому

      Bpa's are just the tip of the iceberg, microplastics and Tritan can somehow or possibly cause cancer when exposed to too much sunlight, UV rays , microwaves
      growth of the cancer cells from the Tritan extract occurred after the plastic was exposed to the stressed state of simulated sunlight. Only one out of three Tritan products showed estrogen activity in an unstressed state, for instance when they weren't exposed to microwaving, heat, or UV rays.

      The problems with plastics stem from the fact that they are basically carbon chain molecules - the same as proteins and other bioactive components of human body, which means they often interact with it in unforeseen way, like that estrogen mimicking situation video mentioned. Silicone on the other hand is inorganic chain molecule and thus do not have a potential to influence us in such way.

    well , my family has been using a copper jar to store drinking water for day to day use , for decades now , and there has been no health issues or any special health benefit , its just normal... but when I purchased a modern copper bottle and started using it , I did noticed the colour of my pee becoming much more darker which was not a good sign and hence I stopped using the bottle, one difference i have noticed in the Jar and the bottle i bought was , the jar use to get accumulated with greenish-blue colour in after like 1 or 2 month and my mom would thus clean it with lemon and salt once a month . but with the copper bottle it never happened . this makes me think how authentic the copper bottles in the market really are, or do they add additional layers/chemicals to the bottle.

    • @bottlepro3252
      @bottlepro3252  Місяць тому +2

      Thanks for posting this comment. I admit I may have discounted copper more that I should have in this video, and I did that after reading some listings that promised way more benefits than seemed possible. Copper can certainly leach, but there are a lot of factors that play into that like the pH of the liquid, how long the drink is stored, how well the bottle is maintained (like what your mom did), and like you mentioned, it's unlikely that all copper bottles are created or manufactured with the same quality. I haven't seen the same kind of possibly issues or questions with glass or stainless steel, so I'd lean towards those materials personally. But I'm sure I have more to learn about copper bottles, and there are probably more situations where it makes more sense to use than I originally considered.

If they are different, that could be a cool topic for an insulation test!

      Tritan is the most common plastic in bottles now, and it's allegedly free of BPS too from what I read.

Overall, I definitely don't fault someone for avoiding plastics, including tritan, as much as possible since the science seems to be finding out more concerns every few years.

But I'm learning more from responses to this video, especially in other cultures. I'm sure the quality of the manufactured copper bottle and how you maintain and use it can prevent many safety risks. On Ayurvedic benefits, my normal inclination to anything that promises so many wide-ranging benefits that are difficult to prove like the copper bottle listings I saw on Amazon is to be skeptical, but I'm hoping to do a followup video that focuses more on topics like this.

    The choice of bottles is a bit flawed, if you think about where the water comes from. If you have drinkable tap water, your water will be in contact with pipes a long time as well and you cannot avoid that. If you run it through a filter, you need to make sure it isn't breeding bacteria in the filters what can often happen. So in the end, how much better did you really make the water quality situation? And does it really have a measurable impact. Also, your body should come in contact with bacteria anyway or your immune system will have no training, which is why it's not recommended to use hand sanitizers all the time, as some paranoid people do - not realizing they are harming themselves rather than doing something good. It's all a double edged sword.

      Very good comment. There's almost always more to any story, and water quality is a big factor I didn't discuss here. Aging water infrastructure, microplastics, and PFAS are each huge stories that affect most people nowadays regardless of which bottles they use. I've started posting more about topics like these and hope to post more soon. PFAS in particular is a major issue where I live (one of the highest rates of groundwater contamination in the country). But when your drinking water supply is a fixed variable, controlling what you can by deciding which bottle to get can have an impact.
