As if we needed further proof the government might not have our best interests at hand, the Environmental Protection Agency has left BPA off the list of chemicals needing additional regulation. This suspicious turn of events followed a December 22nd meeting between chemical industry lobbyists and Obama administration officials.
Even though BPA, which has been linked to health problems in humans and animals, has been detected in the urine of 93% of Americans tested, the EPA has allowed the American Chemistry Council to lobby on behalf of profits and against American well-being. The multimillion-dollar PR and lobbying campaign by the chemical industry effectively clouded the judgment of our government while hiding behind studies paid for by the industry.
Thankfully, there are a few companies that actually care what their customers put into their bodies. Hydro Flask’s double-walled, stainless steel bottles are 100% BPA free, and proud to be! The 100% recyclable bottles allow the user to taste the liquids as they were meant to be, without the thought of what it may be doing to their body.
And if that wasn’t enough, Hydro Flask is currently in the midst of a Haiti Relief program aimed at supplying the people of Haiti with much-needed funds and water bottles.
