Bottled water in your car is very dangerous!


On the Ellen show, Sheryl Crow said that this is what caused her breast cancer.
It has been identified as the most common cause of the high levels of dioxin in breast cancer tissue.

Sheryl Crow's oncologist told her: women should not drink bottled water that has been left in a car.
The heat reacts with the chemicals in the plastic of the bottle which releases dioxin into the water. Dioxin is a toxin increasingly found in breast cancer tissue. So please be careful and do not drink bottled water that has been left in a car.
Pass this on to all the women in your life. This information is the kind we need to know that just might save us! Use a stainless steel canteen or a glass bottle instead of plastic!

LET EVERYONE WHO HAS A WIFE / GIRLFRIEND / DAUGHTER KNOW PLEASE!
This information is also being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center .
No plastic containers in microwave. No water bottles in freezer. No plastic wrap in microwave.

A dioxin chemical causes cancer, especially breast cancer.. Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies. Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic.Recently, Edward Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Castle Hospital , was on a TV program to explain this health hazard.

He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us. He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers...
This especially applies to foods that contain fat.

He said that the combination of fat, high heat and plastic releases dioxininto the body.

Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food. You get the same results, only without the dioxin. So, such things as TV dinners, instant soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else.

Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc.

He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper. The dioxin problem is one of the reasons...

Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran wrap, is just as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food. Cover food with a paper towel instead.

This is an article that should be sent to anyone important in your life!
 
Glad to say Kate, that this is an urban myth.

Drinks bottles (made of PET) do NOT contain dioxins and cannot release them.

There is a link on the brilliant website of snopes.com about this here snopes.com: Reuse of Plastic Bottles

There has been some controversy about other types of plastic used in "permanent" bottles (like clear babies bottles) called BPA but (a) this hasn't been proved and (b) isn't the same material and (c) has been phased out/is being phased out of use in these bottles in the EU anyway. (If you notice, most bottles like this are marked as BPA-free now)

snopes is really good for checking out things like this.

Have to agree, urban myth. nearly all bottles are made of PET and are safe. maybe not in the States but definitely here.
 
Yeah, at least we get some things right!!!

Im with you, snopes is always my first port of call for these emails :)
 
This email has been doing the rounds for a while now,Best advice always snopes it first -
 
Thank you Kate....

I too think this might now be an urban myth...
However I wouldn't eat margarine as that is one step away from being a plastic bottle.

I think we would be more at risk from the bacterial overgrowth once the bottle has been opened...and left to get warm.

(((hugs)))
