Probably not.....Not all plastics are created equal.......

LDPE, the plastic that ziplocs are made from, has no known health risks.

Unlike the clear problems caused by the Bisphenol A in Polycarbonate
(Nalgene bottles) or the possible problems caused by the phthalates in
PETE (common clear water bottles)

If you want to be scared of something, don't drink or eat products
from cans. They all contain BPA from the plastic liners that were put
there to protect us from the metal of the cans...
