There will be a number within a triangle on the bottom of every plastic bottle especially on drinking mineral water bottle. It has been said that the bottle with number less than 5 is dangerous to health as the bottle emits chemicals to the water which leads to cancer when it is used more than 1 time for drinking. Till now I have never seen the bottle with at least number 3. So can anyone tell where can we get such drinking bottles where the number is equal or greater than 5.

These pet bottles contains potentially a carcinogenic element(called as diethylhydroxylamine or DEHA) which are harmful and can leach into our body when used for long terms(source:http://www.care2.com/greenliving/kitchen-plastic-easy-greening.html).
Here we get all the information about the plastic containers. But still iam confused with over information.
Again one more source http://mindchimes.net/2007/04/07/are-pet-bottles-hazardous-to-health/
says it's not harmful.
Right now I am convinced to some extent that PET bottles are not harmful under long term usage.
Can anyone conclude this...thanks
