I think you could drive yourself totally mad if you were to worry about all of the reports on this stuff. Obviously glass is the best thing you can drink from…but not too convenient to carry around. I just bought a Stainless Steel water bottle…and yest it’s made in China…what to do…either drink from plastic bottles or Stainless?? God is in charge anyway…what’s meant to be will be!

In case Louise ever comes back here and reads this, though others like her could benefit– please don’t shoot the messenger, but it’s extremely likely that “no one has said anything” to you because they just don’t know what to say or how to say it. It’s just such an awkward situation.

Rest assured, you probably don’t smell very fresh –whether it’s overpowering or more subtle, in a “What IS that???” kind of way– and you will never notice it yourself.

Maureen, I also get a weird iron-y taste from metal containers sometimes, so you guys aren’t crazy.

In making this choice, you have to know this is what you’re getting into, and you have to know that almost no one will ever say anything to you.

They say deodorant-antiperspirant that contains aluminum causes Alzheimer’s disease, I dunno about cancer. In my opinion, you should note the ingredients on anything that you apply daily, there are a lot of cancer causing agents in a lot of the products we use today you knows really. I use Crystal deodorant which is all natural cheap, and one stick or rock lasts for a year maybe two. It doesn’t provide any scent but it does stop BO by killing the odor causing bacteria under your arms.

That tangy taste that you get when you bite your tongue is the iron in blood. Iron is the major component in stainless steel. I don’t think you should taste it though.

Hubby bought a couple stainless steel water bottles for our daughter to take to volleyball practice. She came home that night and said, “that water bottle is disgusting! It makes the water taste like blood”! I thought she must have read Twilight too many times so I took a sip just so I could tell her she was crazy but seriously, the water DID taste funky….and almost exactly like the taste I get in my mouth after I bite my tongue really hard….LOL!

I’m always very skeptical of studies linking everyday things like deodorant to cancer. They probably did a study on mice and had them swimming in or ingesting a ton of it. Always think about the source of and motive for the study.

Yeah I read about the aluminum and how their protective coating is a secret recipe so people are questioning what’s in it. who knows!

I tried Toms natural deodorant for a week long experiment. I stopped after my gf told me I noticably stank of BO.

What’s dangerous about sigg bottles? Is it the aluminum? I those are coated inside to prevent any aluminum leakage — or so they say! Maybe it’s my imagination, but water tastes so good coming out of those containers.

This might be gross, but I don’t wear deodorant. No one has complained before, so I guess I don’t sweat that much. I didn’t know there were such risks with wearing deodorant though.
