Is plastic really bad for your health?

Asked by sarahsugs (2906) January 21st, 2007

I'm hearing scary things about what plastic does to one's health lately. Is it for real? Here's what I use: plastic nalgene waterbottle (daily), plastic tupperware for leftovers (almost daily), plastic bags (ziplocks, etc). And what are reasonable alternatives for things such as leftovers, etc?
