Water Bottle - very important.......



Hi all,

A piece of information & advice for you & your dear ones...

Just checked the bottles that the company provided and shocked to find 1 !!! Best if for us to get glass bottles and clean them with hot water every day - safest to use.

DO NOT REUSE MINERAL WATER BOTTLES...

Many are unaware of poisoning caused by reusing plastic bottles.
Some of you may be in th e habit of using & reusing your disposable mineral water bottles.. keeping them in your car or at work. Not a good idea.
It happened in Dubai.. when a 12 year old girl diied aftger along usage (16months) of SAFA mineral water bottle ,aas she used to carry the same fancy bottle to her school ddaily.

In a nutshell, the plastic (PET) used in thse bottles contains a potentially carcinogenic element. the bottles are safe for one time use only. if u must keep them longer, it should be or no more than a few days, week max, & kepp them away from heat as well. Repeated washing & rinsing can cause the plastic to break down & carcinogens can leak into the water that u are drinking. better to invest in water bottles that are really meant for multiple uses.

This is not something we should be scrimping on. those of you with family do pl advise them, especially children. pl forward this information. Prevention is better than cure.

How to avoid:
Check on the bottom of the bottle there is a triangle sign and there will
be a number on it. If the number is higher than or equal to 5 --> then this bottle is safe to use.

Whatever number under 5 will release the chemical. For most bottle water, the number is 1. (I confirmed the figure which seemed like numeral 1 on the mineral bottle)

Did you know chemical released by plastic water bottles can cause cancer (It is not the water that affecting you but the chemical releasing from the bottle)

i just read... & probably in a weeks time... m goin to action it..
pl take care...
