Cancer Update from John Hopkins-a top medical institution in USA

[Guest guest]

To All - Just received this and thought you might like to read it.

Good to know....pass on to your friends that do.

This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical

Center as well.

 

No plastic containers in micro

 

No water bottles in freezer.

 

No plastic wrap in microwave...

 

A dioxin chemical 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, 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 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 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!

The biggest problem is getting people to believe it! What about the plastic

containers that have a higher number on them? Are they safe for microwave use?

The Snopes website presents their view that the release of dioxins in plastic is

an urban legend.
