If i reuse a mineral water bottle say, aquafina or kinley or bisleri, will it create cancer?? I heard it has got cancer causing agent. Is this really true coz i use such bottles to store water at home !!

I just don't understand how these bottles contains carcinogen, and why on second and succeeding use only? What about when it was filled in the factory or refilling stations, since they fill it the first time meaning it doesn't have carcinogen in it? I'm having headache and my head is spinning very fast because I don't know the answer. OMG.

i think they have a reuse limit. but i usually just reuse them for 2-3 times 5 max and throw them out.

First of all - in my case I do not drink mineral water. Because,what water is filled we actually do not know.May be branded but it is all about doubt.I heard they fill boring water -how far this is true I do not know. Ok the res use of the bottles is not advised because even my self I heard that these bottles raw material has those effects hence,it is advisable to crush and throw away these and the shelf life of these bottles are also not long.

Its true the materials used for these botttles are not good for health.There is a mark at the bottom of the bottle which indicates its a one time use but stil we use it.Particular bottles of good plastic are found to store water those are better.
