Lesson Learned

Today in my anatomy class we learned about a highly invasive breast cancer study done in California. The study ultimately pointed out the negative effects of using plastic bottles. They found that the dioxins released from the plastic in the bottles cause cancer. Clear plastic Nalgene water bottles and disposable water bottles that are frozen are not healthy for you or when left out in the heat. When the water has been frozen and then unfrozen, the plastic is broken down and then releases dioxins. However, white Nalgene water bottles are approved and acceptable. The next time you think about freezing that plastic watter bottle, think again! You can use an alternative method in order to keep yourself healthy and reduce the risk of cancer.
