““In response to consumer demand, Nalgene® will phase out production …””

That about sums it up. No scientific reason. Just consumer reaction to Media scare. Bearpaw stated it well.

We get these alarms every day of our lives.
There is strong scientific support for the safeness of polycarbonate (that uses BPA). Humans excrete BPA fast; lab rats do not. The media will not tell you this.

Use polycarbonate all you want; wash it, boil it, microwave it. You are not going to overdose with BPA. There have been too many studies about this.

I will now start the new scare. Folks you heard it here first. Coffee has more toxicity than BPA. And this has been proven with humans! And to make it worse, drink hot coffee from a clear Nalgene bottle--- guaranteed physiological disorders, I tell you!
