Is reusing plastic water bottles really that bad for you?!
Supposedly the plastic can leach chemicals!. I just found this out, and I remembered that I used the SAME plastic water bottle for an entire year while in school!. I would re-fill it up every day!. Did I consume harsh chemicals!?!!? And what might happen!? =\Www@FoodAQ@Com

I have never heard of this being a problem!. You should not microwave anything in plastic containers, plates, or cups because supposedly there are chemicals released into the food!. I have been reusing water bottles for years!. Often I have several reused bottles in the fridge with various flavors of Crystal Light in them!. I believe whoever gave you that information was confused with the Microwave warning!. I also reuse plastic juice jugs all of the time to make Ice Tea!. Plastic baby bottles are reusable!.
I plan to continue the practice until something more definitive is published!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

i was reading in an article at my mother in laws that it is bad but i have dont the same thing and everything seems to be ok!.!.!. i think its more of a hype to get you to keep buying water bottles and of a certain type, they also said leaving a bottle in the car to get warm also help leak the chemicals, i say if the water gets warm and kinda taste funny toss it other wise dont worryWww@FoodAQ@Com
No, I have done this for years!. There is always some eejit bringing this kind of alarmist crap out & I suspect it is the water companies themselves, just to get you to buy more new ones!.If you wash them out carefully at least every day they are fine!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
No there shouldn't be a problem at all!. If you put a drop of dawn or something in the bottle, shake it up with hot water (thoroughly rinsing it) and let it sit while it dries out then you're okay :D!Www@FoodAQ@Com
It poses a health risk if it is microwaved!. However, reusing plastic bottles is good for the environment and easier on your wallet!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
They should last you about maybe a year until they wear out!.
Plastic of course wears out over time of use!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
