Re: Water Bottles and Filtration
It seems like you are looking to believe it's ok as long as enough people say it is, or the # is ok, or it's only(?) dangerous if hot enough. Heat does make the leaching worse. But it's all bad, just the degree. And we have NO idea where that bottle has been for how long...sitting in an overheated warehouse for a year before it gets to your store? Then sits there how much longer in the back room, then the shelf? You can't know that unless you followed that bottle since it's inception.
If you had emphysema or lung cancer, would you smoke one cigarette a day saying one can't hurt? I would actually understand that more as smoking is an addiction. But plastic water bottles???? They're estrogen effect is all about cancer.
No one should use them, but least of all YOU with estrogen dominance. I felt compelled to warn you about the danger, but no one can help those who don't help themselves. To knowingly do this... you must not understand the extent of the danger. I would dump anything at all connected to estrogen immediately. But then, most people really don't believe death is real until it (nearly) happens to them. You can't believe how differently you live life THEN!
Given you can't take the supplements you need, I would think you'd be especially vigilant regarding things you CAN change. But you seem determined to rationalize the bottles' use. It almost seems you're researching to reassure yourself you don't have to change, not to help yourself...a marked contrast to the woman so fearful of cancer.
"I need someone to tell me I won't have to go through more surgery or cancer, and no one can tell me that. I find I am getting more and more upset reading of the things that could happen, not what might NOT happen" You DO sound like hiding your head in the sand, but you have to be your own advocate to survive. I know. My survival depended upon my own research, NOT listening to the medical powers that be. It was the toughest thing I ever had to do, while at my physical weakest.
I can only give you the info. No one can tell you what you WANT to hear, but what you need to hear. It takes alot of energy to fight illness. Perhaps when you are feeling better, you will find the strength to advocate positively for your own survival. Feel free to come back or anytime.
Take REAL care of yourself.
