I got this in an email.
Cancer update - from Johns Hopkins:
>
>1. No plastic containers in micro.
>
>2. No water bottles in freezer.
>
>3. No plastic wrap in microwave.
>
>Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters. This
>information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as well.
>
>Dioxin chemicals cause cancer, especially breast cancer.
>
>Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies. Don't freeze your
>plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the
>plastic.
>
>Recently, Dr. Edward Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Castle Hospital,
>was on a TV program to explain this health hazard. He talked about dioxins
>and how bad they are
>for us.
>
>He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using
>plastic containers. T his especially applies to foods that contain fat. He
>said that the combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin
>into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body.
>
>Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or ceramic
>containers for heating food. You get the
>same results, only without the dioxin. So such things as TV dinners,
>instant ramen noodles and soups, etc., should be removed from the container
>and heated in something else. Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in
>the paper. It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc.
>
>He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved
>away from the foam containers to paper. The dioxin problem is one of the
>reasons.
>
>Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as dangerous
>when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is nuked,
>the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic
>wrap and drip into the food.
>
>Cover food with a paper towel instead.
>
>This is an article that should be sent to anyone important in your life!
