It was published in The Washington Post yesterday, and today in
Straits Times, on the grim effects of Bisphenol A (BPA) on humans.
BPA is also a main ingredient in the plastic we know as
polycarbonate, which is present in most household items such as the
baby feeding bottle, Nelgene water bottles, and yes, the Piao-I
vessels.
The extent of damage on long term imbibing of polycarbonate is
still being examined, but it might do us good to stay away from
these items, and use cold water in our Nalgene bottles instead of
hot water...
