    Aren’t aluminum cans still plastic bottles on the inside?

      A standalone plastic bottle is 20-40g of PET.

      The lining of a soda can is about 1g of BPA.

          Yes, but the problem is they replaced it with BPS which is basically the same, but less tested.

      That’s like saying cars and trucks are made of paint because they have a layer of it on the outside.

      Can liners are both an extremely small portion of the overall container as well as being absolutely essential for most canned beverages.

      Additionally, many/most manufacturers have or are moving away from liner materials that contain BPA.
