Is it true if you freeze plastic bottles you can get cancer?!


Question:

Is it true if you freeze plastic bottles you can get cancer?


Answers:
You can get cancer if you freeze bottles, go out in the sun, stay in the shade, heat plastic, cool plastic, play checkers....

When it comes to freezing food-grade plastic bottles, there is no evidence that there is any health risk to you from consuming the food or water contained within.

It seems that people come up with all kinds of ideas about what is safe and what causes fits, farts, freckles, and moles. None of these ideas have any science behind them. No valid studies, nothing.

While there maybe thousands of things that can possibly cause cancer that are man-made, there maybe millions in nature. Anything from the sun to viruses, to radon gas are natural and known to cause cancer. There are untold thousands of chemicals that occur naturally in our environment and foods that could cause it.

Stress is a very likely cause, too... so don't worry so much.

WTF?

i never heard of that but i hope not i do that quiet a bit

I think it has to do with the type of material the bottle is made out of. ANY plastic/rubber type material that has the emblem of a triangle shaped from 3 curved arrows with the #3 in the middle is supposed to be hazardous. I don't know if that is true or not, I saw it on a free speech channel doing a warning about it.

Where did you get your information the Disney channel.

I don't know if there are any links to cancer. But there are certain chemicals that can leech into the liquid due to the freezing of the container.

Don't be stupid cancer is a fault that happens to cells in the body how can drinking from a frozen plastic bottle give you cancer. Cancer is a Gena that all people have in their system and it takes certain things to trigger it off. If you get it unlucky but not plastic. The lady with the 3 circles that means it is low density polyethylene plastic.
