Plastic vs Stainless Steel drink bottles

---

Hi,

After lots of research, including some great info from this forum, I decided to buy stainless steel drink bottles for our family. I was discussing this with my husband and he said that if I searched the net I'd probably be able to find research that would state how bad stainless steel is, as much as other research says how bad plastic is.

I had a quick search and haven't found anything, but just wondered your thoughts on this?

Thanks,
Leah

My DH says that about the net as well.

The order for least chemicals leaking into food/drink is: 1. glass 2. earthenwares/terracotta 3. ceramics 4. stainless steel 5. steel alloy 6. silicon 7.coated aluminium 8. plastic/uncoated aluminium

The water in our Ewan stainless steel water bottles tastes so much better then in the plastic ones we now use as freezer bricks.

Thanks, yep I did read that other thread. It was part of what helped with my decision to change bottles!

Now to find a bargain somewhere I almost ordered some, but when I realised it would be $100 for 4 bottles I thought I'd have a hunt around.

Supa Tankas are on sale at Kids Outdoor Gear - Home, and their normal prices on the other sizes are pretty good, too
