I don't know if this is true, but thought it is worth passing on to my friends.
This is how Sheryl Crow got breast cancer she was on the Ellen show and
She said this same exact thing.
So please be very careful ladies.
Drinking Bottled Water Kept in Car....a friend whose mother recently got
diagnosed with breast cancer. The doctor told her: women should not
drink bottled water that has been left in a car. The doctor said that
the heat and the plastic of the bottle have certain chemicals that can
lead to breast cancer. So please be careful and do not drink that water
bottle that has been left in a car and pass this on to all the women in
your life. This information is the kind we need to know and be aware and
just might save us!!!! The heat causes toxins from the plastic to leak
into the water and they have found these toxins in breast tissue. Use a
stainless steel Canteen or a glass bottle when you can!!!

Thanks for you site with the info. I thought it was better to be safe than sorry. Oh well, I should have done more research on it first.

Along the same lines, I don't use plastic containers in the microwave, either. The toxins from the plastic once heated can leech into the food and cause cancer. Nor, do I use Styrofoam in the microwave. It is better to be safe than sorry when it comes to heating products that contain food and drink.

I have also heard that you shouldn't freeze water in the plastic bottles as it releases some toxins into the water.
