Reusable Bottles Unhealthy?

The best reason for not reusing the bottled water bottle has to do with water and not the bottle. Bottled water seldom contains chlorine. As a result, such water is subject to bacterial contamination as it sits in the bottle after it has been opened. Subsequent reuse increases the risk that the bottle will become contaminated.Bottles with recycling codes #1 and #2 can and should be recycled.
PET plastic bottles are the most recycled type. No need to sort bottle codes, but do rinse them out To recycle your plastic.Reusing plastic drink bottles is not recommended, as it increases the likelihood of impurities due to the introduction of bacteria and the potential leaching of plastic compounds into the water.To hydrate without harm, smart drinkers should avoid re-using disposable bottles.
Instead, you should recycle them after drinking once; or, better yet, invest in a bottle made from glass or stainless steel. Not only will doing so benefit your health, but you can help the environment, too.According to Spoon University, most of the plastic water bottles in the U.S. are made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which the FDA has determined is safe for both single and repeated use. So, it looks like bottled water manufacturers don’t think they should be reused much.
Most types of plastic bottles are safe to reuse at least a few times if properly washed with hot soapy water. However, recent revelations about some of the toxic chemicals found in Lexan (plastic #7) bottles are enough to prevent even the most committed environmentalists from reusing them—or buying them in the first place.Instead of reusing the plastic bottles, it’s best to drink from them once and then recycle, but if you must refill your plastic one, then Dr Glenville advises to buy BPA-free plastic bottles, and.The bottles are safe for one-time use only; if you must keep them longer, it should be or no more than a few days, a week max, and keep them away from heat as well.
Repeated washing and.You think you’re doing the eco-friendly thing by reusing your plastic water bottle, but you’ve heard rumors that it can actually be bad for your health.The FDA does note that reusing plastic water bottles without washing them could possibly harbor some bacteria. Plastics are by nature a sanitary material, but the FDA recommends that you wash the bottle out with hot soapy water between uses.
That raised an obvious question: Is it safe to drink expired bottled water? According to state and city officials, yes. But some researchers also say it can be important to store it properly.
Then, we rinse and sanitize every bottle for another 2 minutes and then we rinse them out with the finished product water. And THAT’s why it’s safe to reuse them! Small Single-Serve Bottles.
This is usually the most common reason why people ask us if it’s safe to reuse plastic bottles.Not exactly, especially if you’re using a disposable water bottle that isn’t really meant to be used more than once. In an article in a 2007 issue of the journal Practical Gastroenterology, experts pointed out that commercial bottled water manufacturers don’t recommend that consumers reuse their disposable bottles.That’s because “everyday wear and tear from repeated washings and reuse can.There is a common misconception that it’s okay to refill water bottles if they are washed in between uses. However, this is just not the case.
For one thing, the shape of a bottle with its curves and narrow neck make it difficult to clean, even with a bottle brush. In order to kill any bacteria that get into the bottle, it would have to be sterilized in order to be safe to reuse.The result: you can use a water bottle as long as you want, as long as it is undamaged on the inside, and as long as you wash it well with hot water and soap in between on a regular basis, since bacteria can and will grow in them.
It is proven untrue that carcinogens will leak into the water if you re-use a bottle.

Just wash them everyone. Don’t make this a big of a deal. WASH THEM AND THATS HOW USE THINGS.
I might try the slow drip irrigation bottle and scoop, or even the waterproofer for a power strip on my porch, but I don’t understand why you need your jewelry to float in a bottle cap lifesaver…??? At least they don’t draw out the instructions!
stupid people, why dont you just wash it manually with soap and hot water? For further cleaning, you can desinfect it using vinegar
You can use vinegar or bleach with glass or stainless steel without harming the bottle. Use vinegar inside the straw and mouth piece on the straw lids.
There should be regulation on products like this. This is absolutely infuriating that producers are allowed to sell the people products which are killing us all in the spirit of freedom.
Are we actually even drinking real water at this point? What does real water actually taste like? Most likely way different than we can ever imagine
How to clean your water bottle. Bleach. It’s called bleach. I put about half an inch of bleach in my water bottle and then fill it with water. Let the suds dissipate, and keep filling, slowly, until the bottle is all the way full. Take the cap and put it in a bowl with a solution of bleach and water. Let it sit for a while, at least an hour. Rinse very well. I like to put water in my bottle, then put my hand over the top and shake so I get all the nooks and crannies. With this method, it will be like you have a brand new water bottle. And, yes, you can be clean enough. And, that is why I don’t need you. You can never be too clean!
Wait, so were supposed to clean things we drink and eat from regularly? Wow, how have I never of this extraordinary concept until now?
I’m sorry but if you aren’t washing your water bottle that’s a you problem.
This is Beyond stupid! Are you people not washing your water bottles? Hand wash them!! Not that hard! ��
Can’t stand Travis he talks out both ends and wines if he’s ever challenged I remember why I stoped watching this..
hello Dr Josh,
i m from India and m not sure if we get magnesium or b5 separately….( as prescribed by you in your heel pain video)can you help me with to find in which combination will i get magnesium and b5. i have plantar fascitis.
Reusable Water bottle in 2021 is changing only use coffee reusable cups
you can clean it out with vinegar and hot water. But I reccommend glass bottles, plastic is no good for you in any way.
Are you saying we are to use tap water and drink it out of glass or stainless steel??
I don’t drink anything from plastic because it’s gross. I stopped buying Snapple when they stopped using glass bottles.
Do people seriously do not wash their water bottles? Would you use the same glass for water for a week/month/year? NO!
I’ll stick with my double walled stainless steel. I like my water ice cold and glass and plastic don’t work, the ice melts. Plus, I don’t use a dish washer, I hand wash everything. I hate large openings on water bottles, I have a small mouth and Ill just spill it down my face. I have one of those small brushes and it cleans the tight areas just fine.
People go through 300+ bottles of water a year? I don’t go through any so who’s using my share?
What kind of water bottle do they want us to use? Non-reusable bottles pollute the earth and now we can’t use reusable ones. What do we use to drink water.
This is just superb, I’ve been looking for “plastic coated glass water bottles” for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about Denadison Simplified Dominance (do a google search )? It is a smashing exclusive product for discovering how to find a great alternative to single use plastic minus the normal expense. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my work buddy got great results with it.
I drink electrolyzed Reduced water that’s Ionized with Alkaline that’s all done by with electricity. No chemicals added. I have a Enagic Kangen Water Ionizer machine
I use hot water with denture cleaning tablets. Let it sit and soak. Then use hot water and dish soap with a bottle brush.
I usually air dry my bottles for hours or overnight, after rinsing it out, of course.
Submerge them in very hot water with hydrogen peroxide or rubbing alcohol mixed in for a few minutes before putting them in the dishwasher or hand washing them. My grandparents used to do it with a spoonful of bleach but I use the peroxide or alcohol instead cause I am not sure if bleach is too safe!
Glean them.things as you would your baby bottles. Steam and Milton.
Thanks for the video! Is it safe to put filtered water into plastic bpa free bottles such as Rubber maid type bottles?
Just watch this video, this will solve the water bottle problem https://youtu.be/VlOPGOd-ssA
I have a wide mouth that I only use water in. Every night I spray it with rubbing alcohol diluted with water, rinse in the morning and I’m good to go.
BREAKING NEWS: DIRTY DISHES ARE BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH! Wow! Thank you for that information. I didn’t know I had to wash my water bottles thoroughly. Damn, I was hoping I wouldn’t have to use my hands to clean them though.
In the video, they kinda skipped over how the unrecycled plastic ends up in the ocean. The WWF has a great article on this which I’m gonna summarize a bit here.
1. Plastic being blown away at some point on its journey from the curb to the landfill. This happens a lot because plastic is so lightweight. Once at a landfill, plastic usually doesn’t get into the environment, as landfills in the US are generally well managed.
2. Littering. This is the obvious one. Bottles, bags, cigarettes, straws. Illegal commercial dumping also contributes.
3. Plastic Products that dumped down the drain: wet wipes, tampons, cotton swabs, bandages, contact lenses, dental floss, and polyester from clothes released in the washing machine. There are also plastic microbeads, tiny plastic balls added to many hygiene products, such as soap, facial scrub, and toothpaste, as an exfoliating agent (to make it feel “silky’). These microbeads are less than a millimeter in size and pass through filtration systems at water treatment plants with ease and end up in ocean ecosystems.
WWF article: https://www.wwf.org.uk/updates/how-does-plastic-end-ocean#targetText=Plastic%20you%20put%20in%20the,and%20the%20sea%20this%20way.
I understand what they are saying but plastic water bottles are not the way to go. Cleaning glass and s.steel is not hard
That’s probably why I ended up with massive yeast, staph infections internally. Thanks for making this a topic/alert. What about charcoal water filters in the bottle?
Will have to throw all my plastic water bottles out as they’re not safe because I’ve had them for too long & getting a horrible taste in my mouth because of them.
I live in dallas Tx and our tap water sucks so what alternative should I try should I boil it I read some comments said not to die to the fluoride, I didn’t know plastic was this harmful what filter should I try or should I start buying mineral water and mixing into the plastic water lol �� I’m at a loss
Drink from plastic and take Viagra 😉 just kidding hahahahhahaha
The dog was like “Eh! Walk barefoot and feel the pain hooman.”
I barely wash my water bottle I’m not sick… Egyptians used mold as an antibiotic so can’t be that bad in in small amounts ��
Besides the icky stuff building up inside areas that are hard to reach in water bottles, we should also be discussing which materials we should look for. It has been revealed that chemicals in plastic water bottles leech into water. An example is bottled water that you let sit in your car during the summer.
Oh. I thought this was going to be about how the plastic downgrades in sunlight and poisons the water. Still a good video though. For our recent family trip, we found some glass bottles at Amazon and filled them with water from an actual natural spring near our house. Can’t get much better than that. Thank you.
Plastic bottles should be like abortions: legal, but only needed in rare special circumstances. The go-to solution should be tap water in reusable flask. Plastic bottles only for the rare situations when you lose or forget your flask. And all of these plastic bottles should be recyclable/multi-use.
I deep clean my water bottle (Camelback Eddy) about once a week. A run thru the dishwasher for the lid and straw, handwash with a baking soda and soap the bottle because i have stickers on it. I also handwash and soap up the lid after dishwashing.
I don’t care about these things it give my immune system some exercise we are too clean the hygiene hypothesis I thing makes sense and I have not experienced any autoimmunity.
Question: I just saw something about cleaning the rubber gasket and under it. It also said that for those with lips that open and close that they should be taken apart and cleaned under the hard to reach portions. This is in addition to washing them in the dishwasher. What are your thoughts?
Stainless steel is a good choice. Yes there is an upfront carbon emission issue, but since they are tough enough to last years, they do end up balancing back out.
Who washes such things in a washer? Oi Vey!!!! Soak that thing with warm water and bleach. Wash by hand, and use a toothpick to get into the hard-to-reach places.

Ok, ok, Butt wath kínd of wather you recomend to drink, if you dont say it, its incomplete your video
Plastic water bottles leach chemicals into your water. Even the BPA free ones. UV rays from the sun causes a chemical reaction with the plastic.


Sungguh bermanfaat vidionya terimakasih,kopinya sudah saya sedu d tunggu mampirnya,yg lain silahkan merapat kita ngopi bareng
There’s also a study that says glass contains high levels of lead and cadmium. So just put your head right up to the faucet ��
To be honest I really don’t think bottles are the problem, the problem is all the packaging on items that don’t need to be there
Mulțumesc pentru minunatele idei și sfaturi împărtășite public și tot odată felicitări!
Is Fiji water bottles ok? I’ve bought many brands of water in the past and find bad info about all of them online
the plastic bottles themselves isnt the problem. the problem is recycling them. if we recycled 100% of them there wouldn’t be a problem.
I use a chillys bottle but I never washed it, you think it’s bad? I only drink water from it and pour it in my mouth without touching it.
I’ve heard that plastic bottles with the numbers 1-4-5 are safe. Does that mean that they are BPA safe?
Also, what is used to replace BPA?
my classmates: does 1st grader looked recycled bottles
my teacher: approved

what about compostable paper-based containers? Like you know, how a lot of milk and juice boxes are today already.
And most importantly..after few centuries…body going to adapt with these side effects too..:)
does this count for plastic cups that are cleaned and washed?
No brainer. Any reasonable educated person should agree. You have to weigh what causes the least pollution. Replace all plastic and styrofoam products with aluminum, hemp, bamboo, cactus, and other form of wood. Remember as much as it pollutes cutting down trees, we have the space to plant more. It takes hundreds of years for plastic to decompose as opposed to 5-10 years for a tree to fully grow. We have millions of acres of bare land.
How bout the 5 gallon bottle that gets dropped off by a purified water company? Is that type of bottle bad?
this might be a stupid question, but is water from plastic bottles contaminated even if you pour it into a glass? that is to say, is it the contact of our mouths on the plastic or is it the water itself that has already been contaminated by being in the plastic bottle? i pretty much exclusively drink sparkling water so…
From the button of my smiling heart, thank you D.R Axe for your health contribution, however, is it safe to transfer the water which already bottled in plastic bottles into glass or cooper vessels just right before drinking it or you mean we should find other sources of drinking water! Hopefully, your time permits you to answer. ��
But tap water has lead chromium fluoride and whatever else pretty sure I’ll be a little bit healthier drinking the bottled water that I buy in stores right?
Thanks for this great info. What about water in carboard / tetrapak packaging?
They do sell cleaning tablets for water bottles and hydration bladders. Fill with warm water drop it in, wait and then rinse it out
I don’t care I’m drinking bottled water now. Wait… I’m dying help meee����
I usually make my meals on one day for the whole week and put them in plastic containers:s. Does someone know another way to conserve my food and take it to work?
I wouldn’t worry so much about water bottles as its content is normally around a ph of 7 or above, why are you not doing tests on acidic products like vinegar sauces salts in fact most all other things other than water.. leeching chemicals must be worse as the reactive nature of the content is much more harsh
So what the hell do we do…..? There’s not many options, it’s either tap water or bottles water and tap water is full of toxins too, there’s no natural springs anywhere near me, I don’t own a well, what are we suppose to do?…
The first thing that comes to mind is that u should drink it
You say don’t drink bottled water, also you say tap water is toxic. So what should we drink?
Just a note to NOT put chilly bottles in the dishwasher as it can damage the vacuum seal✌��
Why are we assuming everyone has a damn washer? I have never owned one and even when I lived in a house WITH one I didn’t trust it and manually did it anyway
The truth is they will never ever state the truth about anything that is good for you and where to get the correct resources because then they lose out in making money it’s all about the money! Selfish world we live in unfortunately!
google image pete plastic. see image that gives summary of how toxic EACH AND EVERY ONE IS.
Its not the plastic causing all the health issues. its the GMO”s and roundup week killer in are foods. 90% of are foods. same stuff that kills test mice in 1 week with same % that we take in..

Dont play fire with plastic. You will Burn that bottle and the house.
Will have to throw all my plastic water bottles out as they’re not safe because I’ve had them for too long & getting a horrible taste in my mouth because of them.
I enjoyed this video of you! You have a great brain and hands, thank you <3
Another great balanced video. The one thing that I was surprised that you didn’t cover is the management of plastic. Where the US does produce and consume a lot of plastic, it is really good at managing it (making sure it doesn’t end up in the wild). A good indication for this by looking at mismanaged plastic (such as ocean plastic). I have seen it reported that East Asia is responsible for >2/3 of Ocean plastic where the US contributes < 1%. I have seen this reported in several places. One example is the Oxford OWiD https://ourworldindata.org/plastic-pollution.
Let me know what you think. Did I get it right? Did I stay Above The Noise?
The way your speaking you would make someone go buy a coke and not care about their health.you don’t sound caring your scaring people from buying water
the camera microphone computer and the server of youtube is all made of plastic so how do you feel making this video
Better yet, buy a metal thermos type water bottle and never buy plastic water bottles again! AND, it won’t sweat in your hands and the water stays cold ALL day!! Or hot all day, depending on what you use it for.
(basicly says that we will die from drinking bottled water)
Me(drinks bottled water) “what did the YouTuber say again?”
I agreed with you up until the Stainless Steel part. Stainless steel can cause prostate issues in men. I avoid it. Its serious!
I’ve been using the same plastic water bottles for many years, and the same mesh “grocery bag” since 1989. If you live in the First World, you have (almost) no excuse. I hope that those unfortunate people whose tap water is contaminated at least recycle the containers of water that they receive.
Nah… when we were little. We use to drink water from the fountain we made underneath the big tree.. i think its the juice of the freaking mountain. Well it taste better than any water i tested tho.. We’re still alive and well.. not illness or anything at all. And all the people in that place still doing same thing… rhey are still alive too ����
Some of these tricks can work for picnic or in jungle while camping
Why buy bottled water if you have a filtration system at home? Just take a little effort to fill up a glass bottle with filtered water. Better quality water than what’s in those plastic bottles. A lot of those bottled waters still contain fluoride (causes lots of problems in the body).
Thanks this is very informative, I believe my country suffers a great risk on the use of plastic bottles. Thanks Doc.
Poisonous fluoride city water or toxic plastic water. Take your pick in good old America.
WOULD IT BE RECOMMENDED TO BOIL METAL WATER BOTTLES(S’WELL WATER BOTTLE)?
I think it’s fair to say we place undue emphasis on plastic water bottles, while most of us don’t think twice about the huge proportion of our foods that come packaged in plastic. And while most water is placed in BPA-free PET bottles (which may still have some hormone disrupting qualities, opinions seem mixed), I expect many food items are packaged using other, less safe plastics. The point being, this is a far more complex question if we’re being rational about it, and focusing solely on water is missing the forest for the trees.
What water do i drink then cause our bodies need water right
I drink Alkaline water…I see water purifiers and drink the water in a glass
Thank you for posting this. I’ve been dealing with ovarian cysts. It started last year. My family realized I was drinking out of a water bottle when I’m going to places. What is the safest thing to use like going out of town to a doctor or shopping. I wish stores would have water and other drinks in bottles. I’ve been making smoothies more at home. I need to try bone broth sometime. God Bless you and thanks for taking your time to help others.:)
Not just BPA. Most plastics still contain multiple chemicals that do the same thing. Avoid it all together. We are idiots killing ourselves.
It is hard to find unfluoridated water that doesn’t come in plastic bottles, and the filters that supposedly take fluoride out are very expensive. So for someone who doesn’t want fluoride in their water but there area has that in their tap water; what is the option?
Where I live the water plant has to put the water threw so many chemicals, Such as chlorine. So our tap water really isn’t save either. Pushing what we thought was very healthy then saying later as they do studies, is wrong and should be looked at very closely.
I appreciate the topic but this video is useless without a solution and I’ve read the article Dr. Axe is linking. A filter is what he’s suggesting but no hand picked models? You’re not helping us if you can’t share what you do personally for yourself in this situation!
Where is the solution? Simply saying stay away from plastic doesn’t tell us how or what we should using to consume the healthiest water.
Scrub with hot soapy water every few days and pour hot water down the straw ones. simple.
Either way if you wash your water bottle there is still germs every knee in a while. I fact we you first get the reusable water bottles the material they use could have germs
He’s speaking mostly of water that is sold in plastic bottles, which is understandably a concern…. until you consider one major thing. Survivalist foods, which are purchased and planned to be stored over long periods of time, are always sold in plastic containers. How else are you going to store quantities of food or water for long periods of time except within plastic?????

Banning meh. It is to late and I see it like George Carlin…the earth doesn’t care but waste affects us.
There is so much waste besides plastic and the US is the biggest at it. This includes food and electronic waste.

is it ok to put juice in stainless steel bottles? i have a double walled insulated one and i want to know if it will ruin the inside? also would vinegar for cleaning ruin a stainless steel bottle?
I had a camelbak for about 6 months.. I found this tiny plug that was completely full of mold and I could pull out the plug but couldn’t put it back in. So I just threw it away. I originally bought it because of the hype of the camelbak bottle. I now have a big water bottle with big lid/mouth.
Can you use these tips for a stainless steel bottle? also do I really need to scrub the inside with a brush? cause now I have to clean the brush too.
even my laughed just not stopped when he uses bottle for stupied hacks. and also uses on her face.
Does the vinegar in the stainless steel water bottle pose a hazard since its acidic against the metal? Seems like you should dilute the vinegar first before pouring it into the stainless steel bottle.
Im obssedsed with stainless water bottles because my friends have 1 and i bought 9…
There are ways to recycle PET plastic bottles into 3D printer filament. A relatively tiny market at present, but at least it’s something. Hope it becomes popular!
Ms. Derocha, you have an endearing on-air personality that makes for an engaging video. Your tips were concise and clear. I was unaware of recycle codes 3 and 7 prior to viewing your video, but now I am well informed. Thank you for the tips!
WHY DIDN’T YOU WASH IT? YOU SHOULD WASH IT AT LEAST EVERY TIME YOU REFILL IT.
Can I use the dish soap and water method on a stainless steel water bottle like the purple one?
this sounds like bot and a lie. you don’t even have information to back it up.
Point of service water purification systems are available for consumer use, and are more economical than a palette of water, even at Costco, much more so if you are buying at the grocer or quick shop. One of the bizarre developments in relief drives is donors sending bottled water to distressed areas, at great expense for shipping alone, when a few purification systems would provide much more water and much lower costs.
I’ve been drinking water bottles for years!! EVERYDAY i can’t drink water in a bottle. I just cant!����♀️��
I like bottled water.. water from a sink or fridge is nasty to me..
Pure H2o will kill you…humans seem to be determined to end their own existence whilst extending it.
No real escape exists only milder forms of poison.
Choose wisely.
In Thailand they pour hot boiling foods in thin plastics and ppl eat it out of plastics. RIP.
I’m lucky I drink tap water then water bottle my 14 yrs old just drink dangerous water bottle
But, they put the water you buy in plastic bottles. They’re really fucking up people.
Is Tupperware safe for long time?….which number is safe and unsafe? What is Eco Tupperware?
We switched to plastic because it was cheaper, particularly when you factor in shipping and breakage. It’s recyclable, but recycling isn’t free or environmentally perfect. Public drinking fountains are less numerous than decades ago, so that “free drinking water” is only safe and “everyplace” when you’re in the nicest part of town. So the solution is carrying our water with us in canteens like soldiers left over from WWII. These plastic bans are just nanny-state government looking for an easier and cheaper solution than improving their recycling programs.
Bottle container materials have tough requirements: On the one hand they should have a long shelf life with often corrosive beverages and then decompose quickly without corrosion help.
I wouldn’t worry about water bottles as its content is normally around a ph of 7 or above, why are you not doing tests on acidic products like vinegar sauces salts in fact most all other things other than water which comes in plastic.. leeching chemicals must be worse as the reactive nature of the content is much more harsh why pick on one item
the makers of plastic are not going to like this 310 comments it’s just to many out of take a guess?
Were did these idiots get a PHD off a fucking cereal packet lol just cut out the back n collect 4 coupons
Is there any scientific proof to show that water stored in plastic bottle # 1,2, 5, or 6 is unsafe, especially if the bottles are NOT exposed to any heat source?
I have to drink bottle water right now. i drink tap water and i get sick then i drink bottle water im fine.
What about Brita water filter pitchers?? You fill them up with tap water and it’s supposed to filter the water and make it safer to drink. If everyone had one and then used reusable bottles filled with that water that may be a good way to lower our plastic bottle usage??
Hi to everyone I am from India most of the people didn’t no the side effects of using plastic things like plastic water bottle,plastic lunch box,even plastic spoon etc If we use plastic water bottles in that water plastic nanoparticle and plastic chemicals will be mixed that water is not good for humans when we drink this water the water will go to small intestine and that plastic chemicals attached to small intestine and small intestine can’t absorb the proper nutrients if it is like this what is the use of eat nutrients food I have suffered from this so many years and I got bald head using this plastic things finally I got solution for this using copper pot or copper vessel is the solution to this plastic water And take one copper pot fill water in that pot leave it for 8 hours after 8hours u can use that water for drinking cooking u r health will be fine this how our Indian ancient people using copper pot and every 2 to 3 day clean that pot with lemon and salt mixture and don’t put this water into plastic bottles

fair argument on the aluminum, glass, and degradable bottles but what about boxed carton water?
Unfortunately, recycling plastic bottles is currently not as profitable as recycling aluminum cans. This is due to China cutting off imports of recyclable waste and the amount of plastic per bottle has shrunk over the past few decades. Another complicating factor is that people wish-cycle, i.e. giving waste to recycling centers in the hope that it will be recycled but it cannot be recycled or processed. Wish-cycling adds additional complexity to sorting out waste for recyclables. Some centers may dump loads in landfills if they even lightly contaminated.
I’ve been drinking minimum 1 gallon of distilled water daily. I feel amazing!
Wait… Why do people even use plastic bottle? Doesn’t they get water in their homes? Can’t they just fill a bottle from their home and take it with them outside?
Canada wants to ban plastic bottles by 2021, but im really worried about what will happen to gatorade
Your fruit and veggies and everyday food is going to have bacteria on them. The water we drink isn’t sterile either. I haven’t gotten sick yet. Going to keep doing what I am doing which is washing my bottles after every use. Not worried about it.
Education on how to be more responsible would likely be helpful. Perhaps the CEOs of larger companies should be required to take the courses.
Yes, ban plastic bottle and bags. Kangen lyfe is the way to go. Better than plastic bottles, tap, and saves you money.
My main problem with tap water is what they haven’t figured out how to filter out yet: drugs. Yep from antibiotics to pain pills to steroids, they’re in your tap water. This is particularly harmful to kids of course.
I am going to use a few of these ideas because they are very useful.
Thank you.
Your videos are thought provoking and responses to them do not translate well to simple YouTube comments.
Is it possible to use boxed water? Is it better than plastic bottles? And why don’t they replace boxed water with plastic bottles if it is better?
Hi I bought a swell bottle recently but have not started using it yet coz it smells. Can I use lemon slice & tap water & leave it overnight?
Plastic straws in the EU should not be banned. It should be an alternative to those who need it, but should not be overused.
I think bans just make people mad and want to do the opposite. At least in thr United states because we’re all still 15 at heart. I know education is difficult, but I really think that’s the best way. In the past, ecoactivism had pointed out the damage to the environment. People want to know how it damages themselves. And they aren’t good at connecting the dots themselves either. You have to explicitly tell them how they are harming themselves and their children right now in order for them to listen. Humans are selfish.
I have a litre glass bottle which was originally sold with juice in it and I reuse it as a water bottle, and once/twice a week I fill it with boiling water from the kettle and washing up liquid, rinse and clean the top with a sponge, think it does the trick ��
Dr. Axe beware holistic doctors are being murdered. Don’t get caught lacking…������
Give recycling responsibility back to manufacturers. That should be part of their costs (and by extension, the consumers of their products) not the public’s how many single use plastic bottles would go to landfills if they could be returned for a quarter? Levy taxes on manufacturers based on there recycling rates.
I know the alternatives aren’t perfect, but aluminum is by far the best one
Now you can have an excuse when people ask you why you drink so much soda
…..What about the added “Fluoride” in much of the Nation’s municipal “Tap Water” sources?!…. WTF?!.. “What about That Fluoride?!”….
Germany has stupid high tap drinking water quality. The quality is even governed by law.
So yes, banning single use water bottles by law in this country would be a very very very good idea.
But they won’t. But there is a network of really deep and highly complex reasons why not.
Please someone correct me if I’m wrong, but are the plastic Coca Cola bottles not designed to be washed, relabeled, refilled and reused?
Ok, let me get this figured out… your plastic bottle of water is “dangerous”… plastic Milk bottles are safe, mustard, ketchup, mayo, soda, juice and the list goes on and on they are all “safe”, yet just the water bottles are “dangerous”…. Fucking seriously!
We have amazing tap water yet people still prefer to buy it in plastic bottles because they believe it is better ������
Aside from glass, there is something in every water bottle material that is bad for you. I find it funny when people on here promote stainless steal or aluminum bottles. You know why they taste like metal? Because they also leach bad things into the water!!!
Reusing things will always still be better then recycling whether it is plastic, aluminum or paper.
Personally I buy fresh orange juice every two weeks and simply reuse the bottle as a flask before finally throwing it into the plastic bin.
And yes, that doesn’t work well with those flimsy one-time use bottles.
Question, what do I do if our tap water is bad. Are those sink filters really good??
Clear, simple solution: Do not let water sit in bottle longer than 24hours, clean bottle with hot water and soup. Let it dry now and then. If its opening is too small, use bristle brush. THAT IS IT.
He saids to use glass when most water bottles are not sold in glass.
not mentioning the MOST important thing. bottled water is all acidic. not for human consumtion!!
Water filters?
My area has lead pipes and we just use lead filters and replace them every three months.
Simple solution. Get some Milton tablets fill a bowl full of water. Dissolve the Milton tablet and completely submerge the bottler with all parts that can be removed are. Leave for the designated time and it’s sorted. Do this once every 2 weeks along with a dishwasher cycle or 2 and your fine.
Don’t be a grot just clean shit properly. I think this is directed more at the American market as here in the UK we have had stuff like this know tv and we didn’t have N many trouble with mould and so on because they were cleaned properly.
Well, here in my city (Argentina) we’ve a lot of botting plants, they make big can of PVC of 5,10 and 20lts of pure water, using delivery trucks to reach safe water to your house. The prices are similar or cheaper to buying plastic bottles. The best thing, the can are reusable, so there is no plastic contamination. I think that this is a great idea, perhaps banning is an utopian idea but making plastic bottles or another recipent more expensive is an interesting option. Obviously is a matter of time. I hope goberments take to help our planet.
Nice videos guys, i love the animation. Nice beard myles ��������
Your thing on clean drinking water being from plastic water bottles is nonsensical as a solution to accessibility in poor countries. From my experience with friends who have worked in NGOs on this, the lack of bottled water is not the problem. Again your Flint example is also a false dichotomy. While I commend you actually researching the issue somewhat, your logic is fundamentally flawed.
So when we make cans with new aluminum it damages the enviroment, but not when they get recycle, am i getting it right? So, theoretically, if we can have enough aluminum and we recycle the 99,99% of them, we may limit the pollution at minimum. Is this correct?
I love/hate the topic of plastic, I just completed microplastic research in the gulf of Mexico last month. I’m by no means trying to discount the harm of so many plastic bottles being used, but just to compare the macro plastic problem with the micro plastic one; initially the biggest plastic pollutant (for microplastics) we found was fibers, most likely from washing machines. However when we went back to our samples to try and solve the case of the mysterious clear strands that looked like plastics, acted like plastics, but couldn’t be IDed, we finally determined they were from cigarette butts…..and boy were there a lot of them. So much so that we initially discounted them in our data before realizing what they were. The most prolific and shocking form of microplastic pollution was the filters in cigarettes, and you’re eating them if you eat seafood. Again this isn’t to say single use bottles aren’t a major problem, just that it’s so much more than just single use plastics that are destroying our oceans. Love this channel and your content, please keep it up! ☺️
I just found this channel through the PBS digital studios survey and it’s so great! I wish I had found you guys sooner!
What about hemp based bottles? Would they have the same down side as corn based or are there other issues that would come along with it?
What about cardboard containers? Similar to milk cartons or juice boxes. I know they may not be as durable or work well with vending machines, but I’m curious about why they are not a good alternative.
Great video! Although I did feel at one point you mentioned recycling is NOT enough because “most of it ends in landfills or the ocean” without ever citing a statistic of how much of recycled plastic bottles are ‘recycled’. It could very well just be me, but it somewhat seemed like that was a point made based on a disjoint fact.
If (ideally, albeit) ALL plastic bottles were recycled, would that be enough?
One time my brother got a water bottle and put pre workout in it. Then he left it on the table for a month. When he opened it again it had MAGGOTS in it!!!
9:42 I see the fish AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH (thinks) wait… Poor fish:(
We all know there are too many plastic bottles out there in landfills and our oceans…but what do YOU think is the best solution? Banning them? Switching to alternatives? Watch our video to hear some of the pros and cons of different potential solutions and let us know what YOU would do.
