OC&PA: What do you make of this recent email warning that claims dioxins can be released by freezing water in plastic bottles?

RH: No. This is an urban legend. There are no dioxins in plastics. In addition, freezing actually works against the release of chemicals. Chemicals do not diffuse as readily in cold temperatures, which would limit chemical release if there were dioxins in plastic, and we don’t think there are.

The Rule of Thumb: anything that ends with "I believe you should forward to your family and friends" is totally urban legend.

Rubbers cause cancer, especially testicular cancer.

Studies have shown that any exposure to second-hand rubbers can be more dangerous!

我目光锐利地摘出这一段，并想指出，用second-hand condom（rubbers?）的人，最大的可能是被恶心致死。
