This was sent to me via e-mail, take it as you wish. I just thought it was worth the passing along.

....a friend whose mother was recently 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 bottle d water 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!!!

I have heard things about links to cancer and plastics

oh god, i'm so gonna get cancer.

I've been dealing with breast cancer for four years. I'm going to have to ask my onco about this one. I'm always asking him or the nurses things I've heard. Some turn out to be accurate, some not.

Thanks. my doctors have never told me this, I had Breast Cancer 10 yrs ago, but maybe they didn't know it back then.

I just wanted to pass it along, it may be true...it may be false. I lost my Mom to breast cancer 10 yrs ago. So this hits close to home.

People will believe anything they read. Snopes says FALSE.
