Plastic Drinking Bottles

^After taking a look through Google Scholar, I've found peer-reviewed studies that suggest the connection with low doses of BPA with:

• 
  problems relating to endocrine mechanisms
  lowered birth weight if exposed prenatally
  lessened reproductive mechanisms and fertility
  metabolism disruption

I don't feel like actually reading the articles, but from a quick search on Google Scholar, it seems that the effects are minuscule compared to higher risk "public health issues" as you might put it.

These effects are things you can't notice and that don't seem to slam the body with negative consequences like other public health concerns. However, it can still be argued that any sort of chemical by-product of creating a man-made item is not in the best interest of anyone's health. There's really no need for these sorts of things to wind up in our drinking containers.

Rather than use hydrogen peroxide you are better off using a Milton's solution which contains sodium hypochlorite. It is the same solution used to sterilize baby bottles (and root canals), and will kill most bacteria.
