I am always going around with bts of water in my car leave them and drink later
not any more !!

won't toxins in the plastic will leak into soft drinks also? help peeps from medical fraternity.......
Thanx bluelady for bringing this to our attention. Remember breast cancer happens to men also, so be don't be complacent guys. Our eldest boy is a chef and drinks bottled water all the time , however I don't think he leaves it in the car. :(

I always check these types of emails through snopes.com and 99% of the time they are hoaxes. Some are so very obvious but people forward them on anyway.

So what are we buying? There are three types of bottled water in the UK.
Natural mineral water comes from a named source and is untreated, so what you see is what you get.

Then there’s spring water, which is also from a named source, but might have a passing acquaintance with chemicals.

Finally, there’s bottled drinking water, whose source cannot be identified – and might even be the tap.



Quite apart from the amount of plastic we use as well - maybe I shall turn into an eco-warrior once we move & get down to grass roots huh?
