Answer 1

Oh dear you poor thing. First off, you are pregnant, not suffering from an immune disorder. You do not have to boil your water, unless you are camping or maybe in Mexico (sorry Mexico, but really...) even if it is from a well. If someone has said it is unsafe to drink and If you are truly fearful of your drinking water, just buy purified water such as Aquafinia or Dasani, if you can afford it. If you HAVE to boil it, don't worry about the plastic. Check out the link below. Your body is REALLY good at fighting things off that are bad for your baby. You cannot go through being pregnant in a constant state fearing illness. THIS concern is more harmful and puts more stress on you and your child than if you were to eat dirt! This is a GREAT site for any of the emails you get that seem just NUTS! I have really found some doozies on here. Check it out, it debunks most of the crap you are sent daily warning you and asking for help. http://urbanlegends.about.com/od/medical/a/bottled-water.htm After you read this on the water, click home and check out some others. So now everytime you get an email, you will look it up and send the link to whoever sent it to you, showing them how smart you are!! Good luck! I am 9 months pregnant, and I have been drinking well water, city water and bottled water for years, even if it has been too warm! All of my children are healthy. I HOPE this helps you!!!

This is absolutely untrue. You can not get cancer from any type of food or water or from any other person. Cancer is caused from cells in your own body that basically go haywire and begin to attack your own body.
The fact that you are boiling the water first is removing any impurities that would otherwise be in the water so you don't need to worry about getting a virus or bacterial infection from the water either. Just make sure the bottle is clean as well.

Answer 3

I've heard rumors that the plastic that bottled water and other things come in has cancer-causing agents. However, I have only heard this once on a radio show. The person who was making these claims was trying to push some health book that she had written. I hadn't heard this again until I read your question now. I wouldn't worry about it. There's no proof, obviously, that plastic causes cancer, especially since it's so widely used today. It's everywhere! So, like I said before, don't worry about it.

Why in the international are you boiling water and then freezing it? Poland spring bottles are made up of puppy. There are going to be some monomers in any plastic, and water being a particularly stable solvent, this is going to pull out a number of those monomers. in actuality, while they first began making bottles out of puppy, they first sought approval as liquor bottles. curiously, in case you ruin a glass bottle of mouthwash, you probably did slightly crying, yet once you broke a $40 bottle of hooch, you probably did a great kind of crying. in any case, they failed the 1st assessments, because of the fact of monomer migration. on the different hand, this is been 30 years, and the difficulty of monomer migration has quite often been tamed. you could take some relief by skill of the reality that the 1st assessments *have been* failed, because of the fact which skill they're working confusing to make the fabric secure. warm water is a greater constructive solvent than chilly water, which you're able to finally end up with greater monomer migration, yet you recognize, each and every time you reuse that bottle, you are going to have even fewer monomers emigrate. you have have been given lots of alternative issues to fret approximately. you recognize, like being hit on the pinnacle by skill of a watermelon falling out of an airplane, or being attacked by skill of a lion that has escaped from the zoo. i would not sweat this one.

Answer 5

God, NO. You got an email that it does? Unbelievable. You know how many scams and lies are sent over the Internet EVERY day? Thousands and thousands. You don't mention where this email came from, but it's not true.

Believe me....if this were true, it would have been ALL over the news worldwide.
