Glass bottles
Keeping your beverages in glass is a good idea. Try the Sesen glass bottles, they can be used for water or other stuff. There are lots of chemicals in plastic, not just BPA that can mimic hormones in the body.
Jeff's Best Hemp!
My products were turned down regionally at Whole Foods in So cal because they said basically that it would make every other company look bad because mine are all in amber glass and are listed as "100% bisphenol A free".
Since all the other hemp proteins are in plastic, they seemed to be concerned that the reality of it being in other hemp proteins and oils wasn't something they wanted to bring to consumers attention, and even went so far as to say that the war over plastic was still raging or something to that effect, trying to cloud the truth, and make it seem like it was a matter of opinion.
Jeff's Best Hemp!is clean and clear off all that crap. And I'm a cancer survivor, and so is my mom. I don't take plastics lightly and you shouldn't either!
Mother's market and Kitchen, Boney's, Erewhon, and Follow your heart are all happy to help you thrive and be healthy, plastic free, and proud of it.

Article Error - Fact Check
This article's bottom line advice is wrong: type 7 plastics should be AVOIDED, not sought out as safe. According to the Environmental Working Group (and corroborated by other think tanks and press reports), BPA is found in polycarbonate plastic food containers often marked on the bottom with the letters "PC" recycling label #7." Also, "all U.S. manufacturers use BPA-based lining on the metal portions of the formula containers."
Good luck trying to avoid BPA; "according to the Can Manufacturers Institute, more than 22 billion cans to be used for food and more than 100 billion cans for beer and soft drinks were produced last year. John Rost, a chemist and chair of the North American Metal Packaging Alliance, says “the vast majority” of them are lined with a resin coating containing BPA."
BPA in #7 plastics
Good article but according to The dailygreen.com and other web sites, plastics labeled with the number 7 should be avoided. The # 7 catgory includes "all other" types of plastics and inlcudes polycarbonate, whose basic building block is BPA. Among other thing made with this are 3 and 5 gallon plastic water bottles.
