What Is The Healthiest Water Bottle To Use? Here's Your Answer

The variety of water bottles available is truly overwhelming, but relax! With FourLeaf's fantastic recommendations, we've got your back.

"Bottle your own" is one of FourLeaf's catchphrases. The goal is to eliminate those single-use plastic bottles, protect the environment, and lessen our carbon footprint. 

There are endless aisles of different bottles, including ones made of glass, stainless steel, plastic, insulation, flavor chambers, and collapsible designs. The list is never-ending! There are so many options that it can be overwhelming and leave you wondering, "Which water bottle is the best?"

But do not worry! We're here to simplify the decision-making process for you. We have gathered all the information you require about the most widely used reusable water bottles. Additionally, we'll explain why you should avoid using disposable plastic bottles. Ready? Let's start now!

Glass water bottles

Glass is the boss when it comes to reusable water bottles. It's the safest and tastiest way to store your liquids. Unlike plastic bottles and other options, water in glass bottles remains unaffected by any weird flavors from the container. You get pure, refreshing goodness every time! Plus, glass gives you peace of mind. Unlike many plastics and some metals that contain harmful chemicals like BPA, glass is chemical-free and made from natural materials. It's even dishwasher-safe!

Keep a few things in mind when purchasing glass bottles. Has the lead and cadmium content been checked? Make sure it has undergone testing and come out victorious. That's all there is to it! There are numerous varieties of glass available. The best option is borosilicate, like the well-known Pyrex®. Extreme temperatures can be handled by this material without it breaking. It is less likely to break and lighter. But if that is out of your price range, traditional glass or soda-lime glass, which is used for windows, are still excellent choices.

Reusable, BPA-Free plastic bottles

Let's talk about reusable plastic bottles while we're at it. Disposable plastic bottles should be avoided at all costs, as we'll explain later, but many people choose to use reusable plastic bottles instead. These bottles are appealing because they are inexpensive and have a lightweight design. When purchasing one, there are a few things to keep in mind. Make sure the bottle is BPA-free first and foremost. This hazardous substance is found in many plastic bottles. Additionally, use caution when using plastic bottles because they are more likely to warp than other materials. We advise taking into account a glass or metal substitute because of this.

Stainless steel bottles - Best Water Bottle Type

Ah, bottles made of stainless steel - healthiest bottle type! They are made from stainless steel that is "culinary-grade" and are available in a variety of shapes and colors. What's best? If they are genuinely stainless and lead-free, they are very safe to use. Some claim that water in stainless steel bottles can taste a little metallic and that some bottles can get a little warm in the summer. But do not worry! You can use the stainless steel bottles from FourLeaf. Due to the insulation in our 40oz Trusty Mate Tumble, your cold beverage will stay chilled for up to 30 hours and hot drinks for 10.

Aluminum water bottles

Now, let's chat about aluminum bottles. At first glance, they might look similar to stainless steel, but they're rather different. Aluminum can react with acidic liquids, so these bottles have to be lined with enamel or epoxy. Unfortunately, that lining can wear away over time. And guess what? Many epoxy linings contain BPA, indicating that using aluminum water bottles over an extended period may not be safest. Aluminum bottles are susceptible to dents and cannot be put in the dishwasher. Therefore, aluminum is the last option before using plastic disposable water bottles in our opinion.

Disposable plastic water bottles

The thing about single-use water bottles is that they're cheap, but at the same time, not the best option for your health or the environment. Plastic #1 or PET is typically used to make these bottles. They're usually used to package food and beverages because they're clear and lightweight. Some individuals attempt to clean them and repurpose them, but guess what? Plastic #1 bottles CAN NOT be reused. They are simply not strong enough to withstand repeated use without deteriorating. They are prone to cracking and bacterial growth, especially when left in warm environments like garages or cars.

Plastic water bottle is not the best option for your health or the environment

Here's a startling truth: Over 60 million plastic bottles are manufactured, shipped, and discarded daily in the United States alone. It's insane! And you know what else is crazier? This enormous industry is not as strictly regulated by the FDA as it ought to be. Government regulations do not mandate that bottled water be superior to tap water in quality, purity, or safety. Are you serious?

Now that we've covered all the benefits of bottling your water and spilled the beans on what to look for in a water bottle, it's time to choose your soulmate bottle! Glass is the safest option, ensuring pure taste and peace of mind. But if you're all about insulation, stainless steel is your buddy. Check out FourLeaf's incredible selection of glass and stainless steel water bottles. They'll give you clean, delicious water wherever you go.
