RE: Frozen Bottled Water With Your Lunch
Is it really true that frozen bottled water can be harmful? Can someone please advise? As I love to freeze and drink cold cold water.

RE: Frozen Bottled Water With Your Lunch
I have half a case of water bottles that were in my garage over the winter time, and they were constantly freezing, and re-thawing every couple of days. Today when I went to grab a bottle, I noticed there were flaky peices of something floating all around the bottle. I checked all the bottles, and they all had the same issue. I definately do not recomend freezing water as I do believe the plastic releases some sort of toxins.

I feel that the above feedback leads to conflicting decisions. Should i or should i not freeze water in plastic bottles?
Thank you for your response

I heard that the plastic bottles ar not intended for long term use because the materials in the plastic break down andget in your drinking water and is unhealthy!!!!! One school sent a note to parents not to reuse plastic bottles!

I do it each day for all of our lunches. Would highly recommend it. We re-use waterbottles that we purchased in the store~like aquafina (sp.) bottles. I am careful to wash & drain dry them after each use just as you do glasses or tupperware. According to snopes.com the cancer risk is an urban legend.

But why not refill the bottles with water from a filter pitcher? That way you can use the kind of bottles that definitely don't release any toxins, and save tons of money as well. Recycling is fine, but re-using is finer!

OC&PA: What do you make of this recent email warning that claims dioxins can be released by freezing water in plastic bottles?
RH: No. This is an urban legend. There are no dioxins in plastics. In addition, freezing actually works against the release of chemicals. Chemicals do not diffuse as readily in cold temperatures, which would limit chemical release if there were dioxins in plastic, and we dont think there are.

You might do some researching on this--I used to do it all the time, but then I read somewhere that the plastic releases toxins into the water as it thaws. I think it has to do with the plastic being at such freezing temperatures. I don't remember where I read it, but it was enough to get me to stop freezing my water bottles. (The toxins are cancer-causing, according to the article I read.)

Another way is to add a half of a bottle of water and freeze it.Then when one leaves the house fill the rest of the bottle with water.It stays cold for a long time and you don't have to wait until the water melts to have a cool drink

We do this when going on trips, like to the zoo or the park!! We got the idea when we went to Florida and stayed in a condo----we put our water in the freezer overnight and put them into our cooler bags to take to Disney---what a savings there!!! And it was nice to have a cool drink on hand!!
It was the best idea we had on vacation!!! Worked out great!!!
