Martha Eaton reminds us ........

Bottled water in your car is very dangerous!

On The Ellen show, Sheryl Crow said this is what caused her breast cancer. It has been identified as the most common cause of the high levels of dioxin in breast cancer tissue.

Sheryl Crow's oncologist told her:
women should not drink bottled water that has been left in a car, because the heat reacts with the chemicals in the plastic of the bottle which releases dioxin into the water. Dioxin is a toxin increasingly found in breast cancer tissue.

So please be careful - do not drink bottled water that has
been left in a car.

Empty the bottle of water when you leave the car and don't forget to recycle it.

A metal canteen is your best choice of container!
