"Bad deal. When heated by the sun or left in a vehicle, soda bottles leach chemicals into your water that are just as toxic, if not moreso than the BPA in lexan Nalgene-type bottles. Some elements, like antimony, leach into water from old PETE(polyetheleneterephthalate) bottles and have been proven to cause cancer. Others are hormone interupters."

Yech! Looks like it's time to move up to a couple Sigg alloy water bottles!
