    I just bought a Camelbak BPA-free water bottle today and I'm hoping those things really are BPA free. However, when I was shopping I picked up a Sigg bottle because it was purty. I put it down because it costs $22 and was little. What's the point anyway of having a steel bottle (hello many, many dents!) if you're just going to line it with plastic anyway?

    Kleen Kanteens do rock. I use mine for juice and smoothies though, not water.

    @sparklylegwarmers: I'm a bit embarrassed to say that I know why Kleen Kanteens are better: no liner. Pure, soon-to-be-cancer-causing stainless steel.

    I go the extra step and just puree malignant tumors and drink those as cancer smoothies instead of water. TAKE THAT.

    Didn't we already deduce that just everything will give you cancer? I've known this for about 15 years. All I'm saying is, even if the water bottles (cancer-free water bottles, er, um, okay) don't give you cancer than the plastic baggies the Whole Foods nuts, raisins, and pumpkin seed mix comes in, certainly will. Don't these people read conflicting news reports that change over the course of decades like the rest of us? 1992 = eggs bad, 2003= 1 egg a day, delicious and good for you! 1950 = Tupperware = genius! 2008 = plastic will give you cancer and typhoid in that order.

    Also, the "steal joy from your child" product of the week: Granola covered, frozen soy-yogurt sandwiches. Organic! Bland! A frozen wheat pop!

    Silly.

    @Spirit Fingers: This is the problem with medical progress. Every death now has a cause; thus, conversely, everything can make you die. It's no longer possible to die just from, you know, old age.

    @Claire Buoyant: This is why I say enjoy life, stop sweating silly things like bottled water cancer (because really am I going to spend whole minutes of my life worrying about that?). It's more important to drink the damnable water, and keep thine self hydrated, than it is to worry about the container it's in, at least in the short term. For the long term...do like I do, wait for the time machine, the B-12 shot that'll cure most things, the Star Trek doohickey that can scan and detect cancers on the spot, or well, you know, live fully until you die one day, certainly. There really isn't much else...yet.

    Back in my day, water bottles weren't "Cancer-Free". We drank from bottles that had extra Cancer so that lesions would appear on our lips and throat as soon as we drank the water. And we liked it!

    I was about to get one thinking "yeah, I want the cancer-free water bottle".

    I think I'm just going to find a WWII canteen and wear it around my neck.

    And Coke is coming out with a low-cal version of their vitamin water! I can't tell if that's an indication of decadence or just plain old stupidity.

    @formerly it takes a lot to laugh: I have an attachment on my sink that makes all my water low-cal AND low-carb. The guy who sold it to me said that water has a lot of calories that we don't know about!!
