Did you ever drink from a plastic bottle and see a triangle symbol on the bottom with a number inside?
Do you know what the number stands for?
Did you guess that it's just for recycling?
Then you are WRONG !!!!!!
THE NUMBER TELLS YOU THE CHEMICAL MAKE UP OF THE PLASTIC.....
1) Polyethylene terephalate (PET)
2) High density polyethylene (HDPE)
3) Unplasticised polyvinyl chloride (UPVC) or Plasticised polyvinyl chloride (PPVC)
4) Low density polyethylene LDPE
5) Polypropylene (PP)
6) Polystyrene (PS) or Expandable polystyrene (EPS)
7) Other, including nylon and acrylic
What you aren't told is that many of the plastics used are toxic and the chemicals used to create a plastic can leach out of the plastic and into the food / drink.
Think about it, how many times have you or a friend said "I don't like this, it taste like the plastic bottle ..... "
THAT'S BECAUSE YOU ARE TASTING THE PLASTIC
The WORST ONES are Nos: 3, 6, and 7 !!!
DO NOT USE THESE NUMBERS if stated at the bottom of the bottle)
Check out this chart that breaks down the plastic, its uses and chemical makeup
(I find 7 a little scary)

Microwaving plastic containers affects the chemical make up of the plastic, allowing the chemical substances to destabilize and leach out more quickly into the food you are reheating. You can check out this article that ran in the Wall Street Journal:

EVEN one of my favorite "RUMOR DEBUNKING" websites, URBANLEGENDS.ABOUT.COM
Lists the information as: overblown with a grain of TRUTH

Air dalam botol plastik di dlm Kereta Anda, sangatlah berbahaya!
Dengan cara inilah Sheryl Crow mengalami kanser payudara. Dia tampil di acara Ellen show dan mengatakan hal yang sama persis. Hal ini telah diidentifikasikan sebagai penyebab paling utama pada kanser payudara, terutama di Australia.
Seorang teman yang ibunya didiagnosa mengidap kanser payudara baru-baru ini. Doktor berkata : jangan meminum minuman yang sudah lama berada di dalam Kereta.
Doktor berkata bahawa hawa panas yang memanaskan bahan plastik dalam botol memiliki bahan kimia tertentu yang dapat menyebabkan kanser payudara. Jadi tolong berhati-hatilah dan jangan minum air dalam botol plastik yang sudah ditinggalkan di dalam Kereta, dan kirimkan ke teman-teman Anda.
Informasi seperti ini sangatlah kita perlukan dan kita harus berhati-hati, dan mungkin akan menyelamatkan hidup kita. Hawa panas dapat menyebabkan toksin/racun dari plastik menjadi bocor dan bercampur dengan air dan mereka telah menemukan racun ini pada jaringan payudara. Sebaiknya gunakan gelas stainless steel atau botol kaca.
