Plastic bottled water ... to drink it or not to drink it.

Today's New York Times carried a story that questioned whether containments in our water were responsible for the increase  in breast cancer incidence.  Doctors  were asked what precautions they took in their own homes to reduce risks.  They stated they avoided microwaving food in plastic or putting plastics in the dishwasher because heat possibly caused chemicals to leach out. At the symposium where this discussion took place, organizers handed out a reminder card listing “safer plastics” as those marked (usually at the bottom of a container) 1, 2, 4 or 5.
The writer of this article  concludes " that the “plastics to avoid” are those numbered 3, 6 and 7 (unless they are also marked “BPA-free”). "

I will be joining him in going through the plastics in my cabinets to throw out all the 3,6, and 7's.
