Dear Mr. Simhan
Thank you for alerting me from circulating the wrong message by me received through e mail.
Once upon a time the subject was going like this "drinking coffee is harmful to our health" but after certain time the same has been withdrawn and got convinced and accepted by all that Daily 2 to 3 cups of Coffee will give relief to strain, even it is envisaged for relief for head ache as the coffee is containing the Coffaine.
Once upon a time using pain killer was abandoned because of its chemical composition which will cause more damage to our body. But after certain time even doctors started advising to keep Aspirin (Disprin - Soluble Aspirin) as emergency tablet and it can be used as First Aid Medicine for Heart Attack Patients while taking to hospital. But recently in a TV Programme (In Sun News Channel) a doctor in his interview he was telling that repeated usage of Pain Killers will cause Kidney failure.
Like this only the Plastic bottles causes are coming out.
As a matter of fact, nowadays, it is presumed that how much we afraid, that much the doctors will be benefitted. If we have guts to tackle, then nothing will happen to us.
Even nowadays our doctors are prescribing for Antibiotics to Indian Patients, whereas whoever coming from USA for visit or treatment in the first itself they get confirmed about the restriction in prescribing the Antibiotics for them.
There so many thing we know it is poisonous, then also we are using those materials,i.e., Agino-moto (Mono-Sodium), Cooking Soda, Food Colours, Bottled Soft Drinks (Carbonated Water), (research report was published that the Coke is having some pesticide, then also we are habituated for that. Like that, We are alerting, but due to this alert do you think our people will avoiding the usage of these items?
Reused oil is causing cancer due to polymerisation of oil while reboiling, But if we dine outside can we have the check on the quality of oil or any product used by the Hotel.
Eventhough I know these are all harmful to my health, I myself cannot avoid using the Plastic Bottles and Polythene bags, eating in Hotels, eating deep fried items in Polymerized oil, Taking Pain Killers, Drinking Coffee (early morning in empty stomach), drinking pesticide added coke, eating Chinese food made up by using Aginomoto (Monosodium), breathing polluted air (industrial area life), drinking polluted water (with the satisfaction that I am drinking UV Treated, RO Plant packed so called Mineral Water with zero mineral and zero bacteria)
If we see all these thing, then we cannot eat anything, we cannot drink anything, we cannot breath in this world and we have to die only on starvation
I have shared with our members only what I have received. These are all we are sharing because atleast some one can avoid or atleast restrict the usage of the products.
In future I will just ignore such alert messages received, and if possible I will try to implement in my family only.
I sincerely ask apology for spreading the (socalled) wrong message.
Further I seek the help of Moderators to delete the thread Truth about Plastic Bottles Initiated by me.
Thank you Mr. Simhan for your concern towards its correctness.

Dear all,

Get to Know Your Recyclable Plastics by Number - Collin Dunn
We've all seen the little numbers living inside the telltale recycling arrows, and most of us know that they refer to the composition of the containers, which also determines whether or not they can be recycled. Recently, word has spread that some of these plastic leach toxic chemicals and nasties like hormone disruptors into whatever they are in contact with; not something you want to be putting on your lips or in your mouth. So which is which?
#1 - PET or PETE: polyethylene terephthalate is used in many soft drink, water, and juice bottles. It's easily recycled, doesn't leach, and accepted by most curbside municipal programs and just about all plastic recycling centers.
#2 - HDPE: high-density polyethylene is used in milk jugs, detergent and shampoo bottles, and, because it hasn't been found to leach, will replace polycarbonate in a new Nalgene bottle (more on that in a sec). It has also has not been found to leach, and is widely accepted and easily recycled.
#3 - PVC: Vinyl or polyvinyl chloride is a bad, bad plastic. Soft PVC often contains and can leach toxic phthalates, and can also off-gas chemicals into the air. It's used in some cling wraps (yikes!), many children's toys, fashion accessories, shower curtains, and detergent and spray bottles. To top it off, PVC isn't recyclable, either.
#4 - LDPE: low-density polyethylene is used most plastic shopping bags, some cling wraps, some baby bottles and reusable drink & food containers. It hasn't been found to leach, and is recyclable at most recycling centers (and many grocery stores take the shopping bags) but generally not in curbside programs.
#5 - PP: polypropylene can be found in some baby bottles, lots of yogurt and deli takeout containers, and many reusable food and drink containers (you know, the Tupperware- and Rubbermaid-types). It hasn't been found to leach, and is recyclable in some curbside programs and most recycling centers.
#6 - PS: polystyrene is used in takeout food containers, egg containers, and some plastic cutlery, among other things. It has been found to leach styrene--a neurotoxin and possible human carcinogen--and has been banned in cities like Portland, Ore. and San Francisco. Still, it persists and is not often recyclable in curbside programs, though some recycling centers will take it.
#7 - Everything else, and this is where the waters get a bit murky. First, and perhaps most notably, #7 includes PC, or polycarbonate, which has been making headlines lately because it's used in Nalgene's reusable water bottles and has been found to leach bisphenol A, a hormone disruptor that mimics estrogen; as such, Nalgene is switching to HDPE, a less harmful plastic.
But that's just the tip of the #7 iceberg; though you're less likely to see them in the grocery store than some of the others, the burgeoning crop of bioplastics (made from plant-based material rather than the usual petroleum base for plastic) also falls under this umbrella, for now, at least. Most common of these is PLA, or polyactide, which is most commonly made with corn, these days. It isn't easily recycled, though it can be composted in industrial composting operations--your kitchen composter most likely doesn't create enough heat to help it break down.
So, while cutting back on plastic packaging is probably the greenest way to go, when it comes to accruing new, we recommend you stick to the less toxic, more recyclable numbers.
