    Heard the same. I to wonder if it is true.

    I was told some like…the water absorbs the chemicals the the plastic bottle is made of.

    if the weather is hot enough to melt the plastic water bottle there may be a chance of you getting cancer from the radiation!

    I haven’t heard of it.

    Though, a favorite quote, love, is:

    You can live to 100 if you stop doing all the things that make you want to live to 100″.

    Plastic is said to leech carcinogens, especially when heated or frozen. *shrugs*

    this happened to Sheryl Crow. It is because plastic water bottles are surrounded by well, plastic, when it is in your car some of the sides sort of melt into the water. the same can happen with freezing a waterbottle, when it freezes it freezes to the sides, and when it melts, some comes off. there are SO many things about plastic that can cause cancer

    It’s a myth. I’m so tired of getting that stupid email. You can read about it below:

    i shouldn’t think so? anyway, drinking warm water is better than cold- it’s better for you and less shock to your insides

    there’s no way this is true. how could it be?

    Its not the water its the plastic bottle that causes worries. You can drink hot water all you want.

    I think the threat is what happens to those plastics once they are heated up over time and then into your water, then body.

    But, I don’t think there are any strong facts that support the long term effects of drinking warm plastic water…. But it just doesn’t seem like a great idea.

    With that said, if a bottle of water is in your car for a day and its warm… its not going to kill ya.

    if the water was left in a plastic bottle and the sun heated the plastic bottle relatively the water would have been contaminated with the plastic substance, if this is a regular habit offcourse will have a side effect, but if it hapen couple of times a month or a year, i guess you can get away with it.. my advise : don’t drink water that was left behind,,, you never know….good luck…and hope that would have helped

    No, it’s an urban myth/legend, originating from a hoax email that was widely circulated last year.

    These links give the facts behind these rumours/hoaxes about plastic water bottles and breast cancer. Sheryl Crow is supposed to have claimed on Oprah that this is what caused her breast cancer, As you’ll see, Oprah Winfrey’s company, Harpo, denies that Sheryl Crow ever made those remarks

    This is the third time in about 16 hours this has been asked on here; is the email circulating again?
