Sigg Swiss
Are the cheaper aluminum water bottles dangerous? Am I silly to spend so much?
I recently bought a few Sigg water bottles… basically, Swiss-made aluminum water bottles with a sprayed-in, baked-on lining guaranteed to prevent metals from leaching into my water. The thing is, they’re about $18 while Chinese bottles are only $6 – $7.
Are cheaper aluminum bottles that lack the lining dangerous? Also, I noticed that some bottles aren’t totally smooth inside, which seems like a trap for bacteria? With recent scares about tainted goods from China, am I being ridiculous to worry that the Chinese bottles may have been recycled from empty pesticide drums?
Stainless steel is the best choice for a water bottle. It’s inert & doesn’t leach anything into your drinking water. Aluminum is more questionable, plastic is right out. One good brand is Kleen Kanteens. They are 100% stainless steel, & while they are made in China, they pass numerous certifications for quality & health.
Sigg, however, has a plastic lining inside that is of a material which the company has never disclosed the contents. In bottles made before August 2008, this lining leached bisphenol A, a known hormonal distruptor. They only changed it recently. So I’d avoid Sigg bec. I don’t know what’s really in them.
Good quality stainless steel from a reputable manufacturer who discloses their sources & uses no plastics. Doesn’t have to cost a lot.
