How to store lime juice?

There is something about using plastic...I can't remember what I read. It was years ago...but big enough that I don't store anything in plastic...if I remember, or can find the info, I'll post. I read it  in one of David Wolfe's books. I think it was the Sunfood Diet success system. .. 

The Food and drug administration are criminally negligent on so many levels...(in my opinion) I sure as heck won't take any chances.

In fact, the microwave is banned from my house. So, the wonderful, all powerful FDA, as far as I am conserned is a joke.

I am stage IV mets to the bone. I took what the FDA, the docs, all traditional authoritirs told me and did what I felt was best for my body. I am being called a miracle by my doctors.

I don't mean any disrespect to your opinions, Pansey, I am just so passionate about this.  

What about freezing the juice in those little paper dixie cups, and then putting them in a zip lock bag to use as you need them? I am so jealous! Fresh limes!! Can' t grow them here in the midwest. But my favorite "drink" at a restaurant: Sparkling water with lemon and lime. I always ask for a bowl of them so Ithey are not squeezing them into my glass, and I never put the rinds in because I do not trust that they are washed.

I suggested glass jars, such as Mason canning jars or Pyrex storage containers. I'm wondering about cardboard containers, like Chinese food cartons or some other cleverly recycled container. There must be something safe!

As I understand it, the issue with storing food in plastic containers is that compounds leach out of the plastic into the food. The two we seem to hear the most about are bisphenol A (found in polycarbonate plastic) and phthalates (a softening agent, making plastic pliable). Polycarbonate plastic is often clear like glass which makes it a popular storage material. Phthalates are famously used in children's toys to make soft, flexible doll faces, pacifiers and baby bottles. These compounds have been implicated as estrogen mimics and endocrine disrupters. Europe has banned some uses of phthlates but the US hasn't. Apparently the data so far is not compelling enough to cause the government to limit commercial use in this country. 

The text below was taken from a site writing about the defeat of a California bill to limit the use of bisphenol A:

Bisphenol A is used  in a wide variety of products. In 2003 about 6.3 billion pounds of bisphenol A was incorporated into products like tooth sealants, water bottles, glasses and plastic liners for cans.

It is now widely recognized that BPA can leach out of plastic during normal use and cause physiological changes. The most compelling evidence against bisphenol A shows deleterious estrogenic affects in the offspring of pregnant mice, for instance enlarged prostates, genital deformities and disrupted puberty. In addition, there are increased cancer rates in certain organs and cell lines, pancreatic changes that promote insulin resistance, pubescent mammary gland developmental changes, and altered to thyroid regulation.

A serendipitous finding in 2003 showed that bisphenol A can disrupt meiosis. Researchers at Case Western Reserve University were studying meiosis in mice that were housed in polycarbonate cages. The cages had mistakenly been cleaned with a highly alkaline detergent by some wayward lab denizen whereupon the polycarbonate cages began to melt. The scientists then observed that the chromosomes in 40% of the eggs were abnormal, a defect rate far and above the usual 2%. Because of this observation, the scientists designed experiments and found that the relatively unstable chemical bisphenol A was leaching out of the melted plastic and disrupting meiosis. Other scientists observed similar results in experiments when labware containing certain phenols was introduced.
