Carcinogens ~ must read I knew about micros but not freezin water bottles

[Guest guest]

s Hopkins Hospital Report

s Hopkins has recently sent this out in their Newsletters. This

information is being circulated at Walter Army Medical Center. Dioxin

Carcinogens causes cancer, especially breast cancer. Don't freeze your plastic

water bottles with water as this releases dioxin in the plastic. Dr.

Fujimoto from Castle Hospital was on a TV program explaining this health

hazard. (He is the manager of the Wellness Program at the hospital.) He was

talking about dioxin 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 ZZZbody. Dioxin are carcinogens and highly toxic to the cells of our

bodies. Instead, he recommends using glass, Corning Ware, or ceramic containers

for heating food. You get the same results.............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. He said we might remember

when some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to

paper. The dioxin problem is one of the reasons. Also, Saran wrap placed

over foods as they are nuked, with the high heat, actually drips poisonous

toxins into the food, use paper towels.

PLEASE! Pass this on to your family & friends & those that are important in

you life!

I retired my microwave and am giving it to a Homeless Shelter.

Re: plastics, I prefer bottled water from the polycarbonate heavy plastic jugs

from the companies that deliver spring water as the plastic does bot leach.

The issue of toxins from plastic is a crucial one. After doing some

research I discovered that " Tupperware " is the only household plastic

that does not use the poisonous chemical that leaches into our food.

I used to save all my old margerine etc. containers for food

storage. I have thrown them all out because I discovered that the

expiration date you see on the margerine containers is not actually

for the margerine, it's for the container. This holds true for all

similiar plastic containers. To the uninformed, Tupperware brand

products may seem costly but when you consider the life time

guarantee and the health benefits it's really a long term investment

for your health. The Canadian Cancer Society actually recomends the

use of Tupperware's Rock,n Serve system as the safest and healthiest

choice for cooking in the micrewave. Never use plastic of any other

kind in the micro. And beware of plastic wrap, the softer the

plastic the easier it breaks down and gets into our food. Cooking

and wrapping food with plastic wrap in my opinion is hazardous to

your health. Same for sandwich baggies. I am a consultant for

Tupperware because I wanted to get lots of free products and I also

get a min. 30% discount on everthing. At my first party I got $900

worth of Tupperware for free and it wasn't difficult. I am not

trying to advertise T. I am simply sharing the knowledge that I have

aquired that has helped our family. As we are all aware our ASD

children have enough toxic burden to deal with without loading them

up on toxins from plastic. Watch for T. at yardsales. People sell

it for pennies. I think they must be crazy but hey I'm not

complaining.
