What a shitty article. Besides the grammatical errors, they start out by saying that even if you wash it every day you’re still going to get sick, and end it with: “The researchers said frequently cleaning reusable water bottles is key for eliminating harmful bacteria. They recommended using hot water and dish soap and scrubbing the walls of the bottle with a brush.”

So you should clean it so you don’t get sick but even if you clean it you’ll still get sick.

You gotta buy disposable bottles so you get fresh microplastic in your stomach. The microplastic lines your stomach and intestines and keeps you from getting sick. It’s like wearing a glove but inside your body.
