The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
For example, adding boiling water to a plastic bottle can increase the leaching of BPA, a plastic-associated xenoestrogen, by up to 55 times.
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.

Start by cutting out plastic bottled water, and never heat plastic. Heating can cause BPA to leach into food and drinks at rates up to 55 times higher than at room temperature.
How heating plastic affects BPA exposure
Minimize single-use plastics and instead opt for glass or stainless steel containers.
Avoid heating food or drinks in plastic because heat accelerates the release of BPA
I already talked about a study where heat can cause the leeching of vpa up to 55 times higher compared to cold liquids
