Here is why you should stop drinking water from plastic bottles: World Cancer Day

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has already warned that plastic leaches around 55 to 60 chemical toxins when heated. When food is heated in a takeaway container or served on a plastic plate, the food mixes with several chemicals that mimic hormone estrogen.
