Fwd: [SoFlaVegans] Microwaves, Plastics and Dioxins

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone...

 

Personally, I don't use microwaves, but for those who do, you may want to keep

this in mind....

 

Be Well,

About Carcinogens

From Tea Cozy [C-V-C]

 

Carcinogens cause cancer. Especially breast cancer. Don't

freeze your plastic water bottles with water as this also releases

dioxins in the plastic.

 

Dr. Edward 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 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 dioxins

into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body.

 

Dioxins 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

dioxins.

 

So such things as TV dinners, weight watchers dinners, lean cuisine

dinners, instant ramen cup of 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. Just safer to use

tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc.

 

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.

 

To add to this: saran wrap placed over foods as they are nuked, with

the high heat, actually drips poisonous toxins into the food, use

paper towels.

Misty,

 

It is even worse than that, food that is in contact with plastic absorbs

the plasticizers (phthalates); They do not even have to be heated. Do

not buy food that comes in plastic containers. Glass, ceramic, or

stainless steel are best.
