Stacy's post about how women drinking water from plastic waterbottles can give them cancer interested me. It is definately scary how common breast cancer has become and I think the studies that connect plastic to the issue are really interesting. Plastic has a ton of carcinogens in it and drinking out of waterbottles from the car aren't the only way that we ingest them. The thing about plastic is that it never biogdegrades. It breaks down into tiny particles but it remains extremely toxic and it is really easy for these tiny particles to enter the food chain. With all the plastic I see littered around everyday it doesn't seem so strange that these issues could be connected.
