A member asked:
Is it true that a plastic bottle of water left in the sun will release dioxins and is particularly bad for woman to drink?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The issue it that chemicals are released into the water from the plastic in the bottle that have be shown to be carcinogenic. Breast cancer comes to mind as one type that may be related to the exposure of this chemical.
