Can drinking water from a hot bottle in the car cause cancer?
The simplest answer is no!
There is nothing wrong with drinking water from a hot water bottle lying in the car, it is unlikely to cause cancer.
Canadian Cancer Society wrote that ‘drinking water from plastic water bottles that are frozen or superheated does not increase the risk of cancer. Some people say that such bottles may contain dioxan, which is highly toxic and causes cancer, but there is no evidence that dioxan is found in plastic water bottles.’
Yes, they must have said that ‘disposable water bottles can be harmful if they are not properly cleaned and dried. These (due to bacteria) can cause upset stomach etc. but this is the case with every food container. There is also no evidence that using disposable plastic water bottles more than once is likely to cause cancer.’
Australian Cancer Society has made a more clear statement that ‘without any risk of cancer, it is safe to drink water from plastic bottles even when the bottle has been left in hot cars, frozen or reused. have gone There is no scientific evidence to contradict this.’
He also wrote that ‘drinking water from plastic bottles is safe, although, for years, people have been spreading misinformation emails that variously claim to be Johns Hopkins University or Walter Reed Army Medical Center. is done, while these two organizations have denied involvement in any such statement.

It added: ‘Fake emails claim that these bottles can release harmful chemicals but there is no scientific evidence to prove this.
‘Overall, water in plastic bottles is safe to drink. Water in metal or glass bottles is equally safe.’
After all this research, we can come to the conclusion that a new water bottle can be safely consumed if it has been warmed up in the car.
If the bottle is re-used, the heat will cause bacteria to grow in it, so clean it thoroughly with hot water and washing-up liquid before refilling.
Yes, one thing came to light while writing this article that about 240 thousand in a plastic bottle of water Nanoplastics And around 240 to 300 are microplastic particles that go inside you. A particle of microplastic can be 70% finer than a human hair, while how small is a particle of nanoplastic? Less than a micrometer, i.e. a millionth of it.
Now this nano and micro plastic will circulate in your kidneys, liver, blood everywhere. If it is in the blood, it has access to the whole body, scientists have traced it to the mother’s milk. There is currently a lot of science to be done on what diseases these plastic particles can cause. Nano plastic Disclosure So now in January 2024, it’s news that even the bottlers are saying it’s still a new research, until its harms, if any, become clear. But there is no point in talking. Since I got the knowledge, I felt it necessary to convey it to you.
According to his understanding, the only solution is to choose the lesser evil. Tap water or government tap water is not available in any area that the current generation can drink safely, even if you bring it from a filter plant, it will still come in a plastic bottle, so it is better to get the same clean water from a good company and have peace of mind. drink from
If you want to get rid of plastic altogether, then use earthenware pots and steel pots, boil, cool and use like old times.
