Why thinksport bottles were chosen for the store

By now you have heard about the controversy surrounding the admission by the SIGG water bottle company that bottles manufactured before August 2008 contain liners that leach BPA. If you own a SIGG bottle, be sure that you visit their website to see if your bottle is affected. If it is, read up on their exchange program.

So I wanted to take this time to let you know why thinksport bottles were chosen for the store. Around the time that the store was being planned, Canada was in the process of banning BPA in baby bottles. So BPA at the time was a very hot topic. There were so many stainless steel bottles on the market to choose from and we looked at quite a few, but settled with thinksport for many reasons.

As with all of the products in the store, we did alot of background research on the bottles. During the time we were looking into thinksport, they were very up front about everything we asked, and they still continue to be today. We asked questions about the materials they use, their manufacturing processes...anything we asked, they gave us the answer and had documentation to back everything up. After narrowing our decision down to a few companies, we felt most confident with thinksport.
We've done the homework on thinksport and are 100% confident in these bottles and you should be too!

Health Canada Officially Bans BPA in Canada

Canada has become the first country to formally declare Bisphenol-A (BPA) hazardous to humans. The baby product industry is now on notice that it can no longer use this chemical in baby products.

What is Bisphenol-A?

Bisphenol-A (BPA)is a hormone disrupting chemical used in baby bottles or any type of hard plastic containers. It is also found in the lining of canned goods, plastic wrap and other plastics. There have been concerns about this chemical since the 1930's!

When tested on animals, the resuls show the following...and these are just a few of the results...


  • a tendency to develop diabetes

  • obesity

  • enlarged prostates

  • changes in the breast tissue that suggest being prone to breast cancer

  • a cluster of slight deformities in the male reproductive tract that scientists call "feminization."
