Could reusing water bottles cause breast cancer?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Uncertain: Plastic bottles can contain BPA which are aromatic compounds that can potentially promote DNA damage and theoretically raise cancer risk, although this is hard to quantify. While any kind of cancer has environmental and genetic components, there is no direct evidence that reusing water bottles will cause breast cancer. If you have anxiety about this, consider using glass bottles.
