I still prefer nalgene bottles. They're cheap, indestructible, dishwasher safe, and aren't a pound of loud metal to carry around when empty.
But in their case, dishwasher safe means safe for the bottle, not for your endocrine system.
They've been BPA free since 2008... So... Plus I've heard they're finding lead leaching into water from vacuum sealed metal bottles. Can't win.
Can you link anything for lead getting into the water? I'd be interested. Everything I've read about it (with respect to the Stanleys) says it's virtually impossible to be in contact with any lead containing bit unless you've purposely damaged the bottom and are basically licking it. One of the quoted experts was says depending on where you are in the US, your tap water is a much more likely vector of lead exposure.
I can't, I've heard it in passing, so very well might've just been some doomer bullshit or sensationalizing the facts. It seems that it'd be unnecessary for them to use lead at all in the creation of a drinking implement, but I'm no material scientist. I guess I'll have to look into it more.
