Does anyone have the latest and greatest news on which type of drinking containers have the least amount of leaching potential? Also, stats or research on the various qualities of each type would be useful as well.
Thanks in advance.

Hello again.
I received this article by email after my response yesterday: http://www.enviroblog.org/2008/03/bpa-questions-answered.htm. It addresses the issues and safety with regard to various drinking and food containers and the chemicals contained within.

Hello Martin.
I don't have any scientific research but there was an article in the Globe and Mail just the other day about this topic: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20080311.wplastic11/B NStory/specialScienceandHealth/home Here is a link to an article on alternatives to plastic: http://www.savvymom.ca/index.php/newsletter/bpa_away/
This article from the Green Guide discusses issues with plastics and suggests the safest alternatives: http://www.thegreenguide.com/reports/product.mhtml?id=44
