So boiling water and putting it in plastic increases the bpa that leaches into the the solution into the the water by like 55 fold so yes definitely heating it up is like way worse

A peer-reviewed study (Le et al., 2008, Toxicology Letters) measured BPA migration from polycarbonate drinking bottles and found that exposure to boiling (100°C) water increased the rate of BPA release by 15- to 55-fold compared to bottles not exposed to boiling water, with the top of that range matching Patrick's '55 fold' figure closely. The finding is specific to polycarbonate plastic bottles rather than plastics generally, so Patrick's broader phrasing ('putting it in plastic') slightly overstates the scope of the underlying research, but the core quantitative claim that heat sharply increases BPA leaching is well supported.
