The Breast Cancer Fund identifies environmental toxins and other preventable causes of cancer and advocates for eliminating them.

Not All Metal Bottles Are Created Equal
In late August, the outdoor industry publication SNEWS reported that the liners inside SIGG and Laken aluminum bottles made before August 2008 contain Bisphenol A (BPA). Consumer backlash against aluminum bottles, and especially companies that marketed them as BPA-free, is mounting. Klean Kanteen's phone and email inboxes have been inundated with questions about stainless steel and BPA. For the record, every Klean Kanteen™, cap and o-ring we've ever produced has been BPA-free.
