Link Between Breast Cancer and Plastic Water Bottles

Bottled water in your car can be dangerous.

This is how Sheryl Crow claims she contracted breast cancer, as seen on the Ellen Show. Evidently this has been identified as the most common
cause of high levels of breast cancer, especially in Australia.

A friend's mother was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. The doctor
told her that women should not drink bottled water that has been left in a car.

He went on to say that the heat and the plastic of the bottle have certain
chemicals that interact and have been linked to breast cancer. The heat causes toxins from the plastic to leak into the water and they have found these toxins in breast tissue.
So FYI, just to be safe, use a stainless steel canteen or a glass bottle, otherwise don't leave your plastic bottles in the car in warm weather.
