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 this ...idea.

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 drank this type of water and smoked out of plastic several times years ago.. *bad idea* But I'm fit as a fiddler (not that this is any kind of proof..i'm just saying)

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:

I'm just sayin, I would be hesitant to accept that conclusion without solid research. The word "toxin" itself, is a marketing construction and means little, by itself, in the medical field. Better safe than sorry though!

I just saw Les Stroud (Survivorman) boil water in a plastic bottle over a fire. He also drinks some nasty ass looking water, so who knows.
