Could your Nalgene bottle give you cancer?

Hi JSinclair3000:

I agree with you 100%, which is the reason I am currently researching SAFE alternatives to plastic (not just Nalgene) bottles. And, I have had exactly the same concern as you're pointing out with stainless steel bottles. And, aluminum is not better + they are lined with resin (yet another harmful plastic material). I thus, as much as possible try to use glass, but that's not 100% safe either. And, most bottles you by, no matter material, have plastic, or silicone, on the inside of the cap. Soooo, as you have studied these things, what would you recommend as being the lesser of multiple evils, and hence the safest (albeit, of course not 100% safe) material for portable water bottles? Please advice!
