You will further be astonished to
go through the report: "Plastic Bottles Release Potentially
Harmful Chemicals (Bisphenol A) After Contact With Hot Liquids", according
to a report published in SCIENCE DAILY
Date: February 4, 2008
Source: University of Cincinnati
Summary:
When it comes to Bisphenol A exposure from
polycarbonate plastic bottles, it's not whether the container is new or old but
the liquid's temperature that has the most impact on how much BPA is released,
according to new research. BPA is one of many man-made chemicals classified as
endocrine disruptors, which alter the function of the endocrine system by
mimicking the role of the body's natural hormones.
