In reply to REI Pulling Polycarbonate Bottles; U.S. Draft Report says BPA Might Present Risks posted by Trailspace on April 21, 2008 at 1:18:00 pm EDT

The draft US report states that the potential effect on humans is based on results obtain from "high" doses of bisphenol A beginning with amounts equal to or greater than 50 mg. Then it states that the "highest" estimated daily intake for children is less than 0.0147 mg and for adults less than 0.0015 mg.

Does anyone know how much, if any, BPA is leached from a bottle into a liter of water? Perhaps it is so low that you'd die of water intoxication before you ingested an unsafe level of the stuff.
