is reuse bottle of water again and again for water harmful for the body?

Answer 1

As long as the bottle is kept clean, and the water is safe, its perfectly safe to reuse the bottle.

Answer 2

Stagnant water (IE water left standing in one place) will be a breeding ground for many types of bacteria if left for some time, so it can be very harmful to humans to drink from(in some cases causing death). for example if you drank out of a puddle that had been left for a month you would expect to become very ill. Water bottles that have smooth edges and that are cleaned out regularly are very safe to reuse. Water companies, such as Volvic or Evian, usually say on their bottles DO NOT REUSE, usually as they have many grooves along the design of the bottle where a minuscule amount of water can collect. however most would evaporate and it is only a very small possibility that bacteria could breed inside the bottle and only if left for a long time. if you were filling the bottle on a regular basis there would be no problems. Cynics would argue they say this so you wont refill the bottle and you will BUY another one. If you wash the bottle out after every so often you will be perfectly fine to use a water bottle from one of these companies. especially if it has smooth edges.

Answer 3

First off, it is a shame that the world has come to use cheap plastic for packing and storage. There have been tests that have concluded that plastic releases petrol- substances that act like estrogens that throw of hormonal activity in both male and females. They discovered this with the problems that small pets were having, until they realized that the plastic water and food dishes were the source of many problems. The small size of the creatures compared to humans allowed the effects to take place much more rapidly and to a greater extent than in a larger child/adult. Re-using bottled water containers are a bad idea, because they are cheaper one-time containers meant to serve a short-life purpose. It is best to get a number 7 in a little triangle on the bottom of the container. There is another designation that I have forgotten. Number 7 plastic containers are much more inert and do not break down & transfer these substances to the food it stores. The worst things about commercial plastic is that it reacts even more so to liquids that have a high acidic content, allowing for more leaching of undesirable substances into your water or beverage. Another thing I often see is, whether NEW or RE-USED, having the bottle set in the sun while enjoying the outdoors, exercising or just setting in a car's sunlit, high-temp environment, as this makes for an even more rapid and intense leaching of petrol-synthetic substances into the liquid. I have even been told by some fairly reputable sources that re-using them as ice packs and emergency water is even a bad idea, because it causes this leaching also. I re-use these sometimes as ice packs in my coolers, but have only drank the melted water as a very last resort when I need some water in an unusual situation. I have tried to tell people this sometimes when I see them using anything but number 7 containers at water filling stations, but it appears that most people think I am goofy or just a character......I want to help, but it doesn't come across well no matter how nice I try to be about being concerned for their welfare. Now, if i decide to try and inform them, I just figure they had a chance to learn something important for their family's health and wellbeing, now it is up to them to research or give a damn by being a better informed consumer. I have read that one part per BILLION of a hormonal type substance can cause a reaction in the human body. However, with food, water and marketed consumables, they are allowed to have up to, i believe, 100 parts per MILLION of something bad in it which is definitely a much higher concentration than needed to affect your bodily functions. Since this does not affect, disable or kill you immediately, there is no concern, but over time undesirable symptoms occur that may not be easily addressed as the source is overlooked since these substance are entered into our bodies slowly and at very low doses, not to mention the accumulation of many different substances that may interact with each other for a very disastrous synergistic effect on our well-being. Consumer beware and become well informed as to what you are eating, drinking and exposing yourself and loved ones to, not everything is what it appears to be with all hype and marketing done in competing for your spending dollars.

Answer 4

not harmful at all as long as you are the only person that is drinking from it, it is more harmful to get a new bottle of water every day when you consider how many different people have come into contact with it before you purchase it from your local convience store also you should think about the fact that many water companys bottle tap water and sell it to you

Answer 5

If you're asking if you should reuse the bottle from bottled water again and again...if you're cleaning it thoroughly (as in washing it in hot water and soap) then you're okay.

If you're just reusing it without cleaning it, or sharing it between multiple people, you're spreading germs.

Do you not wash your drinking glass after using it? Think about it.

Answer 6

I have read that E coli can set it self up even if you wash your bottle in the dishwasher. We do not advise that for people who are immune suppressed but why would any body want that with all if the E coli out there on other things?

Answer 7

I've used the same water bottle for considerable period of time. I suppose it's not too sanitary, but I figure they are my own germs.

Answer 8

A lot of people says it ot, i once use the same bottle for drinking for around 3 months. nothing happening to me.....

Answer 9

Theoretically, yes. Because bacteria from your mouth when you drink from it has sat and fermented. I do it all the time. I think you develop some immunity, and you're OK.

Answer 10

As long as you wash it I wouldn't there would be a problem.
