Plastic is said to cause cancer. What will you do about it?

Plastic plastic plastic. You are said to be culprit for over 50 types of cancer. 

Do I have your attention now? Then consider this. It is said that plastic can cause different types of cancer. But not just plastic. Heated plastic. Example would be leaving your bottled water in a hot car. Microwave food using plastic containers. So let us review this topic.
Before continuing and saying no to plastic. Remember this is said to be a hoax that has no facts. While on the other side is people who claim it is true. In fact I was told about it. Warned never to leave bottled water in a hot vehicle. As it can cause over 50 different types of cancer. But allow me to show both sides of this discussion. 

Those who warn against plastic use.
Now allow me to give the opinion of those who say no to plastic. It is said  when bottled water is left in a car the chemicals reacts to the heat and the end result is dioxin . The same dioxin that is found in breast cancer tissue. The best given suggestion there is to replace plastic with glass instead. Again dioxin seem to be created when combining high heat, fat and plastic. Same alternative is given. Replace plastic with glass if possible

Those who say that plastic is safe
As the FDA keeps checking the safety requirements of plastic and regularly test to see if plastic meets safety measures. According to research there is no threat to plastic. The Environmental Protection agency also checks safety standards regularly. Both say that there is no real threat to plastic.

According to one cancer research website there is no real threat. There is no scientific evidence that plastic can cause cancer once it is heated or frozen. According to the cancer site the chemicals that gets into food or drinks from plastic is too low to be considered harmful. Dioxin and Bisphenol A (BPA) seem to be the named culprits for this.

My opinion is this
The answer is obvious. For the love and protection of those most precious to me. I would rather change from using plastic. Yes I will rather leave plastic. Why add even a claimed low amount of chemicals that is said to be harmless when I have the option of no potentially hazardous chemicals . But I also realize in truth we can not avoid plastic as a whole. As glass seem to be replaced with plastic everywhere. What is your opinion about this?
