Gear Review: Intak BPA Free Water Bottle
While I'm a fan of reusable bottles made by Sigg, Klean Kanteen, and Nalgene, they all requite two hands to open them, which can be annoying at times. If you can relate, then check out the Intak BPA Free Hydration Bottle with Meter ($11) made by Thermos.

Fittingly Green: BPA-Free Food Containers
Ever since the BPA/Nalgene scare of 2008 — in which we learned that bisphenol A could cause all sorts of health problems — manufacturers have been churning out BPA-free plastic water bottles and baby products. Now, BPA-free food storage is also becoming easier to find.
Since we know that bringing your lunch to work is a healthy habit, make it even healthier by packing food in BPA-free plastic containers.
Did You Buy a BPA-Free Plastic Water Bottle?
When news about Nalgene bottles causing cancer broke, I ditched my old plastic bottle and bought a metal one. They're a lot heavier, though, and not the most ideal to take on hikes and walks. I just bought new BPA-free plastic water bottles for my hubby and me.
Campbell's Chicken Noodle BPA-Leaching Soup
It's uncertain how risky bisphenol A (BPA) is to humans, but I figure better safe than sorry. I threw out my potentially risky water bottles and containers but now a new study from Consumer Reports says there's BPA in my canned goods, too. Metal cans are often lined with plastic that contains BPA to protect the food.

Biggest Headline of 2008: Nalgene and BPA
For fitness fanatics and nature lovers, owning a Nalgene water bottle was as essential as a sports bra — a must-have to stay hydrated and reduce your plastic footprint. For years it seemed like there was a Nalgene bottle next to every machine at the gym. Then the scare hit.
Give Brand Bottled Water: Its Motto Is Drink Give. Do Good.
I'm not a huge user or supporter of bottled water since one bottle takes over 1,000 years to biodegrade in a landfill, and they leak toxic additives into the groundwater. So I'd much rather see everyone using reusable BPA-free, aluminum or stainless steel bottles. Sometimes you may not be able to use your own refillable bottle though, so if you have to purchase a bottle of water, think about buying Give brand.
Healthy Eating Tip: Freeze Leftovers Before Eating
You've just finished cooking a wonderful meal — grilled sesame chicken, roasted asparagus with sliced almonds, and mashed sweet potatoes and carrots. Before you sit down to eat, dish out an appropriate portion of each food for each person then immediately put the rest of the leftovers into BPA-free plastic storage containers, or ones made out of glass. Leaving leftovers on the counter or on your kitchen table while you eat is way too tempting.
Nalgene Making Changes
Recently I wrote to just say no to Nalgene hard plastic water bottles, since they contain bisphenol A (BPA), which leaches into your water and can possibly cause all kinds of health problems. Nalgene has heard our cries. They just announced that they will start making their bottles without the controversial BPA.
