Hold the phone. I just heard that Nalgene is recalling it's number 7 recyclable bottles, the ones made with BPA or Bisephenol A. Not all #7 products are made with BPA but Rock and Serve Tupperware products are. See the following links for more information. BPA is linked to cancer in rat studies done by the FDA.
Check out these reports!
Read the information directly from Nalgene's website.
See the news on Tupperware's website as well.
Apparently BPA binds with Estrogen and causes your hormones to do weird things and causes cancer in lab mice or something. So! Stop using that stuff! See if you can turn in the Nalgene bottles for something else without BPA in it and ask your Tupperware consultant if they'll take back their Rock and Serve. It looks like Tupperware doesn't think there is anything wrong with their stuff. They might not take it back.
If anyone knows anything concrete about this, please let me know, and I'll print a retraction if you have evidence to the contrary about this stuff.
