Are Aluminum Water Bottles Safe?

Some people will categorically state that aluminum water bottles are not safe. If that is the case what about all the sodas people drink that are stored in aluminum cans? That is another valid question but maybe the answer to that is related to the "reuse" of aluminum water bottles.

Some years back, there was a controversy about Sigg BPA water bottle lining. The company had to recall their aluminum water bottles and replace them with newer ones that are said to be safer. The aluminum bottles were not the issue, but the plastic liner that is the barrier to aluminum getting into the drinks.

Some people might be angry that major companies put the health of the public in danger because of financial gains. That is true but there is also the reality of fear mongering. Managing fear can be a difficult thing and there are often financial implications and job at risks. Recalling a product without alarming the public can be difficult. That is why most companies tend to only do so if there is no other way to avoid a scandal.

The manufacturer is not the only one that can suffer due to the safety of aluminum water bottles. There are also subcontracting companies that depend on aluminum water bottle. The economic and financial ramifications of any major health safety scare can be important. You don't have to be a doctor or scientist to know that in cases of doubt, common sense should prevail.
