In addition to eating healthy and clean, I’m also a fan of living green. You gotta stare somewhere, sometime, right? Well, I’ve been using reusable tupperware and plastic bottles to consume food and drink, and I heard about how certain plastics can be harmful! Really scary considering I use these things to store my lunch and drink fluids.
BPA, or biphenol-A is a potentially harmful chemical that can leach into your food or drinks which are contained in some plastics. The worse thing about BPA is that is can cause health problems such as infertility or cancer. If you turn over your plastic container and it has a #7 recycling code on the bottom and the letters ‘PC’ then BPA is present.
The best thing to do to keep food and drinks safe is to heat foods in glass or ceramic containers, and never plastic. Also with water bottles the best kinds are the steel versions like Klean Kanteen Water Bottles or Sigg Water Bottles. They’re eco-friendly too. 
I really need to get me one of those water bottles!
