Question

Can bottled water be kept in a Texas garage in the summer?

Answer 1

Only if it doesn't get too hot in there. Its really not recommended for plastic bottles of water to be exposed to heat. A chemical in the plastic leaches into the water when it gets too hot.

Answer 2

i dont think it's such a good idea. the bottle can break down and could get into the water and the water would expired

"Though this isn't exactly what you're talking about, I thought you'd still like to read it."

Cancer News from Johns Hopkins



No  plastic containers in micro

No  water bottles in freezer.

No  plastic wrap in microwave...



A  dioxin chemical causes cancer, especially breast  cancer.



Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies.  Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic.  



Recently, Edward  Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Castle Hospital, was on a TV  program to explain this health hazard.  He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us.

He said that we  should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers.  

This especially applies to foods that contain fat.  

He said that the combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin into the food  and ultimately into the cells of the body.

Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food.  You get the same results, only without the dioxin.  So, such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something glass.  

Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper.  It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc.

  

He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper.  The dioxin problem is one of the reasons.

    

Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as dangerous when  placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave.  As the food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food.

Cover food with a paper towel instead.

Answer 4

why not?

Answer 5

Sure can, but if it is in plastic bottles, it gets a really rank taste after about three weeks.

Answer 6

If it doesnt have exposure to the sun it should be fine

Answer 7

yes but it might taste bad if it gets to hot because the chemical in the plastic will melt into the water

Answer 8

I keep bottled water in the garage, I live in Las Vegas Nevada. Temperatures are 100 degrees plus. When I need the water I just cool it down, it's fine. So I think it  will be fine in your Texas garage.
