DH and plastic water bottles... something new to worry about?
DH has been drinking out of crappy plastic bottles (reusing a 1/2 gallon juice jug) all summer. What do all the chemicals in the plastic (which may have gotten hot on occasion) do to the swimmers? Today I got him a stainless bottle, but that doesn't help the swimmers from before that may have been effected by the plastic. Wish I had thought of this 3 months ago!
P.S. I know I am a crazy freak worry wort. Feel free to roll your eyes at this post!Last edited by Hobbermittens; September 9th, 2011 at 05:08 PM.

I saw this post yesterday and I swear to Gosh it was NOT HERE this morning. ?!? I am losing it.
It is better for him not to do that obviously. There are estrogen-like chemicals in the plastic that can be released when they're used over and over again.
That having been said, my husband has always done exactly that, so I am not certain it is a make or break thing.
According to what I've read, there are a lot worse and more potent sources of estrogen-like chemicals, even things like credit card receipts are crawling with them. Much more so than are in the water bottles.
I also believe that three months prob. wouldn't have mattered either way, because they accumulate over the course of a lifetime and are stored in the fat.

Thanks for answering Atomic! I didn't realize it was something that stored in the fat.... Yikes. I guess the good news is, he's been doing it his whole life, and he's made one boy already. I am glad I got him a stainless bottle now, so at least he is healthier in the long term. And it helps to know your husband does it too, and you have a whole batch of boys!

And he is the WORST too. Like he would keep water in the car in case the car overheated (like for WEEKS at a time) and he'd get thirsty at work and drink it randomly. This was before bottled water was invented (seriously, for reals, it didn't use to exist) and I would save up small plastic milk containers and send them to work full of water him, and we used them for months at a time because we had no money..

Flava, I know! I am just a chronic worrier (like you guys couldn't already guess that). I need to just relax, right? We can only do so much!

We are lucky and get good local grass fed organic beef from a friend (we buy 1/2 a cow a year), but other organic stuff is hard to come by around here. The stuff I can find is super expensive! I know what you mean--it IS more than diapers!!

Also wanted to add I was temp charting so I know when I ovulated and he was conceived in Virgo. Only one attempt so I couldn’t have gotten pregnant any other day. It was the day before O which also...
