Plastic containers that are not meant for the microwave and used anyway. Also, drinking from plastic water bottles that have been heated in some way. (Left in your car in the sun or even sitting in a hot warehouse before you even bought it!) There is only one or two brands of plastic water bottle that claim they are using special plastic that does not harm. Penta water is one. I learned all of this from Sheryl Crow when she was on Ellen for Breast Cancer Awareness Day. Hope it helps.

I haven't seen any conclusive (or inconclusive ) studies linking plastics and breast cancer in any of the professional medical or nursing journals that I read, so I'd take that to mean that you're as safe using any plastics as you are doing anything else in this toxin-laden world.

They say the rupture of the package allowing what used to be silicone, is unsafe. Now most of the time they use saline. I believe its not the contents of the plastics but the sterilization methods that used to be bad.
