Are plastic water bottles leeching harmful toxins into our water?!
Question: Are plastic water bottles leeching harmful toxins into our water!?
For a long time i would reuse a gatorade bottle, filling it up with water every time i ran out!. However, i have heard that it might be harmful for us and it is advisable to drink from a glass bottle instead!. On the radio, they were talking about kids as young as 10 years old reaching puberty due to the negative effects of these plastic bottles!. Would it be alright if you just didn't leave it out in the sun!? It would be helpful for people to shed some advice on this subject!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
yes plastic releases a chemical that biologically acts like estrogen, causing increased breast and ovary cancer, early puberty in females and also weight gain in everyone!. This leeching is increased with heat which is why it is not a good idea to use plastic as a cookind vessel, but you do not need to use a glass bottle for drinking!. Get a NALGENE bottle, it is plastic, but it uses a stable type of plastic that is safe and it is reusable so spend 10 $ and you;'re set!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Plastic water bottles were never meant to be used over and over again!. The better option is to use a canteen or glass!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

ive heard of this!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Its true!.!.!.you know if you turn the bottle upside down there is sort of a triangle with a number in it!.!.!.if the number is a 7 that is the plastis that carries the harmful toxins that leach into the water iver time!. They say not to leave a bottle out in the sun and then drink from in!.!.!.the heat causes the effects to quicken!. But this toxin is in baby bottles so children are exposed to it at a very young age!. I have definetly stopped drinking the bottled water with that certian aplastic!. There have been 150 studies down, all of which have lead to Breact Cancer caused by this toxin!. I beleive it is called bisphenol AWww@Answer-Health@Com
I can't really answer your question but, the plastic all the media is talking about is easy to find!. Look at the bottom of the plastic bottle!. There is a recycle symbol you know the arrows making a triangle!. In the triangle there will be a number!. Number 7 is the code to the plastic that might cause cancer,etc!. What I heard it is more of a danger to children such as baby bottles made from the plastics!. Leaving them out is the sun makes sense too it might heat the plastic up!. What I found the plastic is used in those sports bottles that you buy in sports and outdoor stores!. I checked to see if my daughters bottles use that plastic and they didn't!. You know this will not be the end of this topic and you will be hearing more and more in the coming months!.

I recently read an article on this!. Most products are made from a plastic that releases a toxin (PTC or something like that) for several reasons!. The most common is because a plastic bottle is left in the sun or in some other sort of heat and repeatedly reused so that you ingest them!.
The article said the plastic toxin can cause everything from early puberty to cancer, and even digestive problems from ingestion!.
However, there isn't a whole lot of diffinitive links between all these problems and plastic, and I still reuse water bottles fairly often!. If you're worried, you can now buy a stainless steel (or steel-lined) water bottle, or use glass (although that can be heavy and inconvenient)!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The news media has talked about this a lot recently!.!.!.!.!.!.and I believe this is true!. Look around and try to find a stainless steel water bottle, with a stainless steel inside!. Hard to find sometimes, but well worth the trouble to find!. Good question!. I would not ever use the plastic if I were you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Yes, its dangerous, we've all gotten into the habit of just re-using the bottles that we have!. The thing that is bad, is when the bottle "sweats", it's releasing toxic chemicals into the water we drink!. It is much healthier to drink tap water!. Sheryl Crow has also spoken on this subject!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
it's called BPA!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
