> Cancer News from Johns Hopkins:
>
> No plastic containers in micro. No water bottles
> in freezer. No plastic wrap in micro. Johns Hopkins
> has recently sent this out in its newsletters. This
> information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army
> Medical Center.
>
> Dioxin chemicals causes 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.
>
> This 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, Corning Ware,
> or ceramic containers f! or heating food. You get
> the same results, only without the dioxin.
>
> So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen 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 Saran wrap 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 I believe
> you should tell or forward to your family and friends
>
> anyone who is important in you!
