Your Water Bottle

2. Avoid Aluminum

Turning to aluminum bottles instead of plastic ones may seem like a better idea, but think again. Although there has been a lot of controversy surrounding the link between Alzheimer’s and aluminum, some studies have in fact shown that this metal plays a role in the disease. Exactly how much of a role, we can’t be sure yet, but a Keele University study found that there is significantly more aluminum in the brain tissue of Alzheimer’s patients than in people of the same age without memory loss. It’d be impossible to avoid this metal completely, but try limiting your exposure to it whenever possible, just in case. Better safe than sorry!
If you decide to drink from aluminum anyway, at the very least make sure the bottle doesn’t have a plastic liner. This could be sneakily adding estrogen-activating chemicals to the water you thought was BPA-free, putting you right back where you started.

3. Your Best Bet

Stainless steel bottles can be lined with plastic as well and, as a result, contain BPA. But as long as you look out for that when you’re shopping, this material is the most practical choice for a worry-free drink. Glass bottles aren’t risky either — as long as you aren’t dropping them on the floor — so use them when you can.
