I received this in an email yesterday and was wondering if anyone knows if it's true:

Bottled water in your car.....very dangerous, woman!!!!
This is how Sheryl Crow got breast cancer. She was on the Ellen show and
said this same exact thing. This has been identified as the most common
cause of the high levels in breast cancer.

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!!!

I have found this on the internet and it claims that this is an urban myth.

I recently received another email about this with more information added this time from a Dr. Edward Fujimoto about using plastic / plastic wrap in the microwave. It also mentions Sheryl Crow blaming the water bottles in the car for her cancer???

How do we know what to believe? There are articles on the internet that claim it's true and others that claim it's just another myth.

As far as I know plastic water bottles can be a problem because to varying degrees caused by temperature and time they can leach toxins. This is also said about kombucha miracle fungus that it should not be kept and brewed in plastic for the same reason. Unfortunately now that tap water is not safe we have to drink bottled water and plastic-bottled pop, beer, squash and other drinks too. This is sadly a sign of the times. Years back water out of the tap was fine and the other drinks came in glass bottles that were recycled with money back on them that made sure a lot were returned. Nowadays most drinks are either in throwaway plastic or in aluminium cans, which are just as bad.
The main thing is to minimize the risk as much as possible by not leaving bottled water in the heat.
I drink bottled water because I regard it safer than the fluoridated tap water.
