What is the Safest Water Bottle Material, and Which Type Should You Buy?

A common question that many people ask when buying a reusable water bottle is, will this bottle be safe to drink from every day? It's important to know that your bottles are safe for you and your family to use, so in this video, we are going to take a closer look at seven types of water bottle materials: plastic, stainless steel, glass, aluminum, copper, silicone, and titanium. Our goal is to give you a better understanding of the available options on the market today so you can make the best decision for your situation.

Disclaimer: This video is starting to get a lot of attention! Thanks to everyone for their comments and feedback. Please keep in mind that I'm not a scientist or authority on safety for these materials. I did my best to gather verified information from reliable sources to come up with this review and summarize it for entertainment purposes in this video, but I'm sure there are details I missed. Also, new information and research is always coming out, so eventually this video will become more out-of-date as more research is completed. Please use the information from this review at your own discretion, and I encourage you to research more yourself if you have more questions and concerns. Thank you!
