Goretex is made from PTFE which is pretty safe at normal environmental temperatures.

But, yes, the additives we use were picked for practical reasons and only later learned to be unsafe.

Phthalates are generally the most concerning plasticizer but they’re being phased out in favor of safer alternatives, and even safer alternatives are being intensely researched. According to this website [0] non phthalates account for 20% of all plasticizer today an expected to grow 4% in 2022.

What I find strange is the assertion that my cheap Chinese steel water bottle is somehow safer than a food grade PET water bottle from a reputable manufacturer.
