Oh of course. No company has ever inadvertantly (of advertantly ) sold anything potentially harmful . Sorry. Looking for reassurance a little more along the lines of 'no, plastic cannot emit carcinogens or other harmful substances because of this and this scientific explanation'. Not 'no it's not true because it sounds unlikely'.

My mum also mentioned today that people who spend too much time in front of monitors, especially CRTs are statisticly less fertile. Am I gonna worry about this? No. You could easily spend your life worrying about everything they say is a health risk and your whole life will go by and you'll realise all you've done is worry instead of enjoying life.
Anyway, yeah I just drink straight from the tap too, anywhere in Europe at least.
Well I wouldn't say I'm worried about it. But since I do prefer to be as healthy as possible, I'd just like to know so I can buy a proper water bottle. You might eat a lot of fried food but I don't [img]tongue.gif[/img]

You really don't wanna drink from the tap in Spain, that water is so filthy, you don't even wanna take a shower there.

LOLOL . I just love really obvious humour like that [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

Yeah I drink from the tap too, though not everywhere (ie not in parks where drunk (or not ) people piss on the faucet [img]graemlins/idontwanna.gif[/img] ). There aren't always taps around though, plus it's convenient to be in a lecture and be able to just have some water in my seat.

I'm aware of the painfully obvious use of dangerous products by other companies, what I was saying was I doubt reusing a plastic bottle is going to end up killing or seriously harming you in the end.

Is that to cover up that you have an incontinence problem? [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img]

I just love really obvious humour like that [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]
