Hmmmm, I use a plastic bottle every day when I'm at the swimming, same one each time. I get thirsty especially after my swim and I'm lounging in the sauna.

). So how come they are considered safe, I wonder?Though, I have to say, I have considered buying some stainless steel ones.... until, of course, it's discovered there's some hidden danger lurking in the 'stainless' processing...

It's a BIG problem with a variety of plastics and some foodstuffs are more badly affected by others. Cheese is a particular case and some plastic films should never be used directly on cheese.
Also casual use of cling film in a microwave. I have a very bad habit of ignoring this and rather than use microwave safe stuff just grabbing whatever's close. I get severely bollocked whenever seen doing so!
