Rejuvenation Planet Sun Offers Hydration Bottles made from BPA-Free material!
Hydration is an often overlooked, but key element of sun care and
overall good health and fitness. Proper hydration is not only important for
prevention of heat related injuries, but to also cleanse and rid your body of oxidants
and toxins brought on by over-exposure to the sun.
Planet Sun offers a
variety of drinking bottles and convenient packs to conveniently
carry your fluids and sun care essentials.
Perfect for the beach, the trail, the urban jungle and travel!
Ultimate Direction Continues to Offer BPA-Free Hydration and Nutrition Systems
Polycarbonate, the material that has been used by many
manufacturers for years to make water bottles, contains a manmade
chemical called bisphenol A (BPA), which was originally designed by the
pharmaceutical industry. It was recently discovered that BPA leaches
from the plastic at levels dramatically higher than previously thought,
according to Canadian Health Minister Tony Clement.
Ultimate Direction bottles and gel flasks have always been made with
FDA approved Polyethylene, a BPA-free plastic that is soft and
squeezable, odorless and tasteless. Likewise, Ultimate Direction's
hydration reservoirs are made with FDA approved polyurethane, also a
BPA-free material.
BPA in humans is associated with higher levels of testosterone in
men and women and has been linked to breast and prostrate cancer, brain
damage, and disruptions of the endocrine system. Canada intends to ban
the import, sale, and advertising of polycarbonate baby bottles
containing BPA because "the margin of safety" was considered too low
for formula-fed infants.
Many retailers, including Mountain Equipment co-op in Canada and REI
in the U.S. have begun removing BPA water bottles from shelves.
Likewise, many consumers are demanding BPA-free alternatives. Ultimate
Direction has always been BPA-free and will continue to be.
