The safety or rather the danger of plastic water bottles has been circulating in cyber space and in print. I saw a printout of this plastered on the notice board at Songtsen library too so I did some research and guess what I discovered.
According to snopes.com, it seems that there is no truth in this at all. Plastic bottles are safe. Some chap did a university thesis on the subject saying that the effect of heat and chill casued the plastic bottles to release a carcinogen, a cancer causing substance. Well, there seems to be no truth to this. It is an urban myth. Check it out at snopes.com
