Safer plastics? Plastic numbers?

Can someone link me to a website that describes the safer plastics vs. more dangerous?

I have an Avent Isis breastpump and I have been using the converter with the Via cups since they are #5 and the regular Avent bottles are #7.

#5 is safer than #7, right?

(for the record, after pumping I then transfer the milk to glass for freezing).

I know that #7 is one of the worst, but forget what the other numbers mean.

Links, please!

I don't have a link to the website but I have a copy of an article that describes the "safest" choices in plastic.

Safer plastics-#2HDPE, #4LDPE, #5PP (#1 PETE is not designes for re-use
Risky plastics-#3 PVC, #6PS, #7Other (usually Polycarbonate)

I hope that is helping you out a little more. Also check out this link (just found it now that I've typed all the other info
