I'll continue to use mine. Sounds like another overreaction to me:

Citing multiple studies in the United States, Europe and Japan, the chemicals industry maintains that polycarbonate bottles contain little BPA and leach traces considered too low to harm humans

the potential for BPA to impact human health is a concern, and more research is clearly needed

I get the feeling I'm 1000x more likely to die from skiing into a tree than from a BPA-induced condition from my Nalgene. And I don't do tree skiing. It seems to me like people are more and more concerned about every little thing that might possibly affect their health; it reminds me of the CT win for life ad, where all the win for life recipients are clad in armor in order to live longer. What's the point? You're going to die sometime, of something. No, I'm not going to go around rolling a ball of lead in my hand or drinking mercury. But at the same time, I'm not going to worry about a chemical that possibly exists in trace amounts, and could possibly leach into my water, of which laboratory administered quantities showed some impact on lab rats.
Everything I do involves some risk. This is one I'm not particularly worried about.
