Plastic

I read in article in the NY Times last week about breast cancer and possible links to the plastic tupperware that we use. Go through your stash at home and throw away any with numbers 3,6, or 7 on the bottom (unless they say "BPA Free"). When they are put through the dishwasher or microwave, chemicals can leach out of the plastic. These chemicals are dangerous and have a possible connection to cancer. The safe ones are 1,2,4, and 5. Even though these are safer I would avoid putting any in the microwave.
Just a heads up!
