The western world has discovered that most plastic containers are hazardous (some of them in use for decades now). The primary devil is BPA (bisphenol A) that is being associated with a wide variety of serious health problems like breast cancer, prostate cancer, Type 2 diabetes, early onset of puberty in girls, obesity, and neuro-behavioural problems such as attention deficit and hyperactivity disorders.

greenlivingonline.com has a comprehensive article about BPA and ways to escape from it. If you are serious about your and your family's health, minimize all other windows and go read it straight away.
