Water in a GLASS bottle is safe to drink, maybe even metal. Water in a plastic bottle that has heated up in the car is now toxic. Studies show the toxins that are released into the water are the same toxins found in breast cancer. I know a friend that has just been diagnosed with breast cancer and she has so many tumors that both breasts must be removed. She may not survive even if they do remove both breasts. She has told us that she did have a habit of drinking bottles that sat in the car in the heat after they cooled down. DONT DRINK IT!!!!!! I have no idea if purifying it would get rid of that toxin. I wouldnt take the chance.

Here's one link that tells you about the dangers of bottled water in a hot car or being frozen....

Snopes says its false, but I still wont take the chance. they have been wrong before!

This is highly suspect hypothesis. If there were/are any relevant scientific studies, then we would have a basis to begin to analyze the veracity of such a wild statement.

People drink hot water from a car, from time to time and get cancer?
People smoke cigarettes obsessively and might get cancer...after 20+ years mostly.

Perhaps its not the safest thing, but its so unlikely that anyone could get breast cancer from this type of situation! Plus there are way too many variables to isolate "hot water" + plastic = "breast cancer"Hell I've smoked out of plastic several times *bad idea*

Its not the hot water that causes cancer. It is the toxins in the plastic bottle that are released when the water heats up. The toxins cause the cancer. Hell, plenty of people drink hot water, (even i do when trying to lose weight. add some lemon juice!) but drink hot water from a cup, not a plastic bottle!:thumb:
