  • Vitamix a Toxic Blender ?!!

    Hi All! I believe your worry about Bisphenol A is over reaction. For the short time your food is in the blender there could be very little leaching. Now water sitting in a bottle for months is a very different story. And when the water is bottled the bottle is new. So most of the material to be leached would be near the surface. That’s why I don’t hink you need to worry much about the Bisphenol A leching in your machine. As for glass containers, they all have their problems too! Much of the glass made over the past several thousands of years is made with some lead content to make it less brittle. Again, if you leave something sitting in it for a very long time, the could be some contamination, but probably mot enough to worry much about. You water comes in through pipes and over equipment that most certainly has far more contaminents than any container will have. And even the ground the water was in contact with has contamients along witht he minerals your bvody requires. As for the Nickle and Stainless Steel. The Nickle in the Steel is what makes it Stainless! As the amount of iron in the steel is reduced the amount of nickle is increased to make it make it corrode less. My opinion is don’t worry quite so much about these concerns. Your body is built to handle all kinds of contaminations. Just make sure you’re getting the best water you and and plenty of it. And do things that make you sweat. Your genes have far more impact on the quality and length of your life than the difference in a plastic or glass container or a steel or stainless blade will ever make. In fact, worring about this stuff will probably kill you ! 99.99% of all the crap we worry about just doesn’t happen. Live long and prosper and don’t worry so much.
