This is how Sheryl Crow got breast cancer. She was on the Ellen show
....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 bottled 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!!!"

My friend wonders where the bottlles were packed from the beginning.

Are you sure this isn't just another made up forward making the rounds? The usual way to get breast cancer and most other cancers is ingesting meat and dairy products. Especially chicken and eggs. That info came to me from a doctor.

Really? I have never heard that. I know that breast cancer is linked to birth control pills.

Is it the chemicals in those products (vs. organic)?

I saved this article from the past:
John Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters,This informations is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center
1. No plastic containers in microwave
2. No water bottles in freezer
3. No plastic wrap in microwave
4. Dioxin chemicals causes cancer,especially breast cancer
5. Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cell of our bodies.Don't freeze your
bottle water with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic
6. Recently Dr.Edward Fujimoto wellness program management at Castle
Hospital, was on a TV program to explain this health hazard.
He talked about dioxin and how bad they are for us
7. He said we should not be heating our food in microwave using plastic
containers.This applies food that contain fat.He said that combination of high heat and plastic releases dioxin into the food and into the cells of the body.Instea he said to use glass,corning ware or ceramic containers for heating food.

I hope this will help.There is a lot more like not to use seran wrap to heat food

I think you're misinterpreting that, dragonten. Isn't that article is saying it's an "urban legend" and the purported stories are "false?"
