Drinking water left in a car for too long can easily cause cancer.

Bottled water in plastic bottles is a convenient beverage, but leaving it in a car can be harmful to your health, according to a recent warning from American doctors.

This information was released after Sheryl Crow stated that it was the cause of her breast cancer. Tests revealed high levels of dioxin (C4H4O2) in the breast cancer tissue.

Currently, many people have a habit of reusing disposable mineral water bottles without knowing that it can cause poisoning. The quality standards of these bottles only guarantee safety for single use. If you need to keep them longer, it should not be more than a week and should be kept away from heat sources for best results.

According to medical specialists, women should not drink water from plastic bottles that have been left in cars for a long time. High temperatures in the environment catalyze the reaction of chemicals in the plastic bottle, releasing dioxins that dissolve in the water.

The Walter Reed Army Medical Center also has a policy against placing food in plastic containers and plastic wrap in the microwave. When food is cooked at high temperatures, toxic substances are released from the plastic wrap and drip into the food. Use paper towels instead of plastic wrap.

Do not place plastic water bottles in the refrigerator because the cold water also releases dioxins from the plastic. It is best to buy reusable water bottles if you want to store water.

For safe drinking water, women should use water bottles with stainless steel casings or glass bottles.
