Juice in Polycarbonate water bottles
Posted by: ezrac3isb ()

Polycarbonate is a high quality plastic that is used to make water bottles because it prevents the leeching of chemicals into your drinking water. I read that there is a slight risk of Bisphenol-A exposure after the bottles are worn out through dishwashing, heavy use, or exposed to alkaline substances. What I'm wondering is, can I store green juices in this water bottle? Is the alkalinity level of a green juice low enough that the plastic will remain resistant?

What kind of juicer? only the norwalk remains vital for multiple days I believe. I've never owned a greenstar but I hear you can keep those for a bit if you put it in the fridge immediately. I recommend storing in glass (no problem washing these), but I don't have an answer exactly to your question but I think juices are alkaline forming which is a bit different then in substance.

Hi Anaken, I'm mixing smoothies in the vitamix and occasionally put the contents into a nutbag to extract pure juice.

So there is a difference between "alkaline forming" and "alkaline in composition", and green smoothies/juices fall into the former category? Can anyone confirm this?

I have heard that vitamix oxidizes your juice quickly due to fast rpm.. Would oxidization affect the "alkaline composition" of a juice?
