Guest guest Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Yep, I actually heard that a couple of years ago. I knew about the microwaving in plastic also, but never do that anyway. There are so many ways we can be poisoned. Lynda At 09:54 PM 6/25/2006, you wrote: >Oh wow, we do alot of frozen water bottles. Yikes.
