Japan and Canada have completely banned the use of BPA, or Bisphenol A.

If they have been left for a while or exposed to high temperatures, almost all plastic bottles can leak other endocrine-disrupting chemicals. Yuck!" .

In a 2011 study, researchers purchased over 450 plastic items used to carry food and water from shops including Whole Foods and Walmart. They found that although most of the products did not contain BPA, 70% of them released estrogen-like chemicals.
