Which Plastics are harmful?

BPA Numbers

"#3 Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) has di-2-ehtylhexyl phthalate (DEHP). DEHP is an endocrine disruptor and a likely human carcinogen. 
#6 Polystyrene (PS) likely will leach styrene - which is another possible endocrine disruptor and probable human carcinogen- into your drink or food. 
#7 Polycarbonate contains bisphenol-A, a the hormone disruptor. This chemical can leach out when it is heated or exposed to acidic solutions. This type of plastic is very common in sports bottles and is used in most baby bottles and 5-gallon water jugs - watch for this one!"
