Wasn't sure where to post this (Medical or Gear) but thought others would find this helpful. I found that Nalgene bottles contained a plastic polycarbonate with a chemical called Bisphenol A (BPA) while researching baby bottles. Nalgene is phasing these types of bottles out with a new type.

There is some controversy regarding the health effects as with any product and studies that were funded with corporate money. Here is some data on the health issues:
