cancer warning

[Guest guest]

Cancer update: s Hopkins = Cancer News from s

Hopkins:

1. No plastic containers in microwave.

2.. No water bottles in freezer.

3. No plastic wrap in microwave.

s Hopkins has recently sent this out in its

Newsletters. This

information is being circulated at Walter 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. 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 for 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.

I believe you should forward to your family and

friends--anyone who is important in your life!
