Around the same time I queried Sigg on the contents of their bottle liner. This article on Sigg came to me through that google alert. Since I made that inquiry and it was ignored, my Sigg bottles have become stylish vases in my home, feeding cut flowers rather then my daughter and myself. Why would I retire such expensive and supposedly safe bottles so early? Sigg bottles are lined with water based epoxy in order to prevent the aluminum bottle from corroding. Almost all water-based epoxies are created using bisphenol-a. Sigg wlll not release the ingredients used in their lining BUT they test for leaching bisphenol-a which leads one to believe they have REASON to test for bisphenol-a. A company that uses undisclosed ingredients has no place in the "green" product market. A prolonged exposure to the smallest levels (parts per billion)of bisphenol-a can cause damage to our endocrine systems. Considering the fact that we are being "hit " by this chemical from so many different angles in our environment, every degree of elimination matters. There is no human tool that can test for the smallest harmful quantity of bisphenol-a so a long term independent peer reviewed study is needed for accurate claims to be made on whether or not a product is leaching a harmful amount. Sigg has not conducted a study of any kind and therefore they should not claim to be safe because they really have no idea whether they are or not. Being that they are European or Swiss makes no difference at all regarding their safety. While Sigg is a sexy product and reusable, it is not accurately guaranteed to be any safer then plastic bottles. For info on an ongoing discussion between some green retailers regarding Sigg: http://www.freemarketorganics.com/coabsi.html The safest options for sturdy water bottles are currently stainless steel. Otherwise a glass bottle or jar is it. We feed babies with glass, why not use it ourselves? Sincerely, Amelia Royko Maurer Free Market Organics LLC 342 S.

I have to admit the artist line-up isn't my top 100, but I'd be good with seeing Jack Johnson. His Curious George soundtrack work is a staple around our house.
