its the same as other cartons...lined with a thin layer of plastic, but its usually the more durable plastic than is used in water bottles, and its usually set well before being filled...so it probably wouldn't leach that much at all for a while unless maybe you heated it or left it in the hot sun

What about silicone containers, are they estrogenic?

do you still think HDPE is safe?Different plastics have different health effects, but I generally consider polyethylene aka HDPE (what most milk jugs are made from) to be the only 'definitely safe' plastic. Polyethylene is just fully saturated long carbon chains, essentially extremely large saturated fats. It's very chemically stable, and is widely used in chemistry and biology research as it generally doesn't leach chemicals or react with things.
I use soft opaque white (HDPE) water bottles, as many transparent plastics (like polycarbonate) do leach endocrine disruptors.
