If this is BPA free, do the older Nalgene bottles contain BPA? I have been using the same one for over 3 years now. Is it toxic?

The older transparent Lexan ones have BPA, yeah. (The HDPE ones like this never have, to my knowledge.) How bad is it? That's a subject of debate, but from the looks of things, the BPA chemical looks kinda like estrogen to your body, so the fear is that it can screw with your hormones and may contribute to cancer.

Yeah, the older ones do. BPA needs a lot of energy to be released though, so if you don't use hot water, it won't even come out.____This is still a much debated concern, no real answers
