But why? Here are some reasons:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Plastic bottles are made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET). When a plastic bottle is heated, the material releases bisphenol and antimony (also known as BPA), which can harm your health.<\/li>\n<li>A research team led by University of Florida soil and water science professor Lena Ma studied 16 different water brands after being kept at 158 degrees Fahrenheit for four weeks. They found that all 16 bottles leached chemicals into the water inside them, with some bottles yielding up to eight times more BPA than others.<\/li>\n<li>The plastic bottles are not designed to withstand high temperatures. When the water heats and expands, pressure builds up inside the bottle. If you are trying to get hot water into a plastic bottle, it will be forced out through any tiny opening available.<\/li>\n<li>In addition, the heat from boiling liquid can damage the plastic itself over time; eventually, all of these factors will weaken the integrity of your container so much that it might burst open when filled with cold liquid later on!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How Do BPA and Antimony Affect the Human Body?<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4204\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/How-Do-BPA-and-Antimony-Affect-the-Human-Body-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"How Do BPA and Antimony Affect the Human Body\" width=\"680\" height=\"384\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/How-Do-BPA-and-Antimony-Affect-the-Human-Body-scaled.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/How-Do-BPA-and-Antimony-Affect-the-Human-Body-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/How-Do-BPA-and-Antimony-Affect-the-Human-Body-1030x582.jpeg 1030w, https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/How-Do-BPA-and-Antimony-Affect-the-Human-Body-797x450.jpeg 797w, https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/How-Do-BPA-and-Antimony-Affect-the-Human-Body-768x434.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/How-Do-BPA-and-Antimony-Affect-the-Human-Body-705x398.jpeg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>To start, let&#8217;s take a look at bisphenol-A (BPA).<\/p>\n<p>BPA is a chemical used in plastic bottles and other plastic products. In addition to being linked to reproductive, immunity, and neurological problems, it has been associated with an increased likelihood of developing Alzheimer&#8217;s disease, metabolic disease (obesity), childhood asthma, and cardiovascular disease. Research also suggests BPA can negatively affect children&#8217;s behavior.<\/p>\n<p>Antimony (Sb) is another heavy metal in your water bottle&#8217;s lining; it helps prevent bacteria growth and leaches into your drink when exposed to heat or acidity.<\/p>\n<p>While our bodies are constantly exposed to antimony at low levels through various sources like cigarette smoke and food packaging materials\u2014short-term exposure by inhalation results in effects on the eyes and skin, otherwise known as &#8220;antimony keratoses&#8221; which are small bumps on eyelids caused by rubbing them too much while sleeping!<\/p>\n<h2>Side effects of drinking water in plastic bottles<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4205\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Side-effects-of-drinking-water-in-plastic-bottles.jpeg\" alt=\"Side effects of drinking water in plastic bottles\" width=\"900\" height=\"446\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Side-effects-of-drinking-water-in-plastic-bottles.jpeg 900w, https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Side-effects-of-drinking-water-in-plastic-bottles-300x149.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Side-effects-of-drinking-water-in-plastic-bottles-800x396.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Side-effects-of-drinking-water-in-plastic-bottles-768x381.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Side-effects-of-drinking-water-in-plastic-bottles-705x349.jpeg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You may think you&#8217;re doing your body a favor by filling up a plastic water bottle, but it&#8217;s not as healthy as you think. There are a few reasons why:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Toxins Found In Plastic Water Bottles are harmful to your health. For example, BPA is one of the most common chemicals in plastics and has been linked to heart disease.<\/li>\n<li>You Might Be Drinking Microplastics In Bottled Water. Microplastic refers to small particles of plastic less than 5 millimeters (0.2 inches) in diameter that are often ingested by marine wildlife and humans upon entering our bodies by ingestion or inhalation from the air we breathe.<\/li>\n<li>Disposable water bottles are damaging the environment. It&#8217;s estimated that Americans consume an average of 50 billion single-use plastic water bottles yearly. Most of these end up in landfills or waterways, which can take up to 450 years to decompose!<\/li>\n<li>Plastic Water Bottles Are Killing Marine Wildlife. According to research by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), over 100,000 marine animals die each year due to ingestion or entanglement in plastic debris\u2014a higher number than any other creature on Earth.<\/li>\n<li>Drinking from plastic water bottles can lead to weight gain. The polyethylene terephthalate (PET) used in disposable water bottles may leach BPA and other chemicals into the water, accumulating in your body fat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for an eco-friendly alternative to getting your daily H20 fix on the go, consider investing in a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/custom-stainless-steel-water-bottles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> reusable stainless steel bottle<\/a> instead!<\/p>\n<h2>What happens when you put hot water in a plastic bottle?<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4206\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/What-happens-when-you-put-hot-water-in-a-plastic-bottle.png\" alt=\"What happens when you put hot water in a plastic bottle\" width=\"916\" height=\"477\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/What-happens-when-you-put-hot-water-in-a-plastic-bottle.png 916w, https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/What-happens-when-you-put-hot-water-in-a-plastic-bottle-300x156.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/What-happens-when-you-put-hot-water-in-a-plastic-bottle-800x417.png 800w, https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/What-happens-when-you-put-hot-water-in-a-plastic-bottle-768x400.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/What-happens-when-you-put-hot-water-in-a-plastic-bottle-705x367.png 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 916px) 100vw, 916px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>It depends on the type of plastic and how much hot water you put in<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Most types of plastic are not heat-resistant, so if you put hot water in them, they&#8217;ll most likely melt. Some types of plastic will deform or shrink when heated. Other bottles may warp and become unusable.<\/p>\n<p>If the bottle does soften, it&#8217;s important to remember that hot liquids can leach chemicals from your bottle into your drink\u2014including BPA (bisphenol A) and antimony, which have been linked to human health problems, including cancerous tumors and reproductive complications, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>The best way to avoid this is by using glass bottles instead of plastic ones whenever possible.
