Of course, all plastic-bottled drinks pose potential risks; researchers found over 15 years ago* that certain water-soluble compounds called polyhydroxyphenols (PHPs) are released slowly from plastics in water.

US scientists believe PHPs in groundwater may cause sex-reversal in alligator and American crocodile in the Florida Everglades. So maybe the thing is, don’t drink out of plastic containers if you value yer mojo!
