I also add lemon juice. I see the PET(E) 1 is deemed (health wise) generally safe for food use, but does the lemon pH (or carbonation) change the rate at which the contaminants leach from the plastic into the water. &nbsp;Thanks<img src="http://articles.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=213955" width="1" height="1">http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2005/04/27/plastics.aspx#184174Thu, 19 Mar 2009 11:39:26 GMT24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:184174ellie phillips<p>As a dentist I worry about the many people who rush to change silver fillings (yes,I agree -these are not good because of their mercury content) &nbsp;to white ones. I cannot tell you a completely safe filling alternative - but please investigate for this BPA problem in the white filling materials.</p> <p>I have been sounding the warning bell for years - especially for the sealants that are placed on young children&#39;s teeth.</p> <p>Plastic filling materials vary - very few could be considered perfect - but manufacturer&#39;s vary in their BPA reports - ask your dentist for details!</p> <img src="http://articles.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=184174" width="1" height="1">
