Question about Canteens/Water bottles...

I've been told that whatever it is that the inside of aluminum bottles are coated with, is harmful if heated... or something like that? I came here because I really don't know.

I heard that too,something about how the switch from nalgene/lexan bottles to the aluminum was not neccesarily for the better because the coating would come off when boiling water.

I could be wrong though.

According to their website you can buy them at "Mountain Equipment Coop"(never heard of it), or they are available for preorder on their site

I believe I've seen their logo on Les Stroud's clothing a couple of times

I picked up my Kleen Kanteen because water could be boiled in it and it doesn't have any coatings inside or out.
