Frozen Bottled Water With Your Lunch

RE: Frozen Bottled Water With Your Lunch Post By Maggie (Guest Post) (04/08/2008) 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.

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.

Should i or should i not freeze water in plastic bottles?

One school sent a note to parents not to reuse plastic bottles!

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.

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!

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.

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.)

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!!! Report Spam or Abuse
