The fact that they would never disclose the ingredients in their "resin" lining kept me from purchasing their bottles in the first place. Indeed, the misleading part was the big turn off.

But you misrepresented what I wrote by assuming I believe "everything natural is good". I do not. If course I am not going to inhale turpentine nor do I put aluminum under my arms and that's a natural substance. (I do however avoid petroleum products for environmental reasons). The point I was trying to make was that just because something is commonly used (like plastic in our bottles) doesn't mean it is safe. We should all read our labels, do our own research and do what feels safe for ourselves. This is just my opinion of course, but we shouldn't base our decisions on one alarmist article, or any one person, but from many sources that are hopefully reliable and that have used good research methods.

Much easier to clean, and the Sigg sport tops were too hard to assemble anyway. We switched to Klean Kanteen ages ago for the same reason.

I prefer Klean Kanteen anyway - the mouth is big enough to get ice cubes in and they aren't lined at all.

But Sigg lost plenty of customers by acting in such a misleading manner. Wait…not lined with BPA, just lined with a material that contained a small amount of BPA.

Turned out it was lined with BPA (bisphenol A) and they had to do a lot of backpedaling. Zinc, copper and manganese doesn't sound much better for you than aluminum.

I thought they use iron oxides for red. Well, I'll certainly be reading the small print on the back from now on! They don’t put lead in lipstick do they? I thought they use iron oxides for red.
