The connection between plastic and cancer was discovered in 1987 at Tufts Medical School.Since then , dozens of studies have proven the plastic -cancer link. We now know that when lab animals are exposed to these plastic chemical s, they develop cancer. We also know that when u keep food or water in certain plastic, some of the chemicls leach into that food or water.
but here we need to know, all plastics are highly toxic and highly volatile, others r safer and more r stable.

so question is How can u tell which one r safest and which one r dangerous?
Answer is simply look at the recycling number on the container.. if u look at the bottom of the container, u will see a little triangle with a number inside it.
then follow guidelines as follows:

1. CONTAINERS WITH 3, 6, OR 7 ON THE BOTTOM-
r most dangerous of all. They contain a dangerous and volatile chemical called BPA and shud be avoided at all costs.

2. CONTAINERS WITH A 4,5 ON THE BOTTOM-
r generally considered safe. but u shud probably use them sparingly. and u shud never use them to microwave.

3. CONTAINERS WITH 1 OR 2 ON THE BOTTOM-
R the safest. These include clear water containers, as well cloudy containers u normally found water and milk in.
These containers r called PETE and HDPE, r safe for storing food and drink.
But again never use them to microwave.

most dangerous cancer associated with plastic is breast cancer..So be careful guyz..
THANKS:)

I was working at a facility where we used to make PETE (1) containers and they were a suppliers to McDonald and Stuff and I was involved in a huge project to recycle the waste PETE Scrap on a large scale. Was an amazing work term.

Just remind me of that from the post
