CANCER NEWS FROM JOHN HOPKINS
1. No plastic containers in micro.
2. No water bottles in freezer.
3. No plastic wrap in microwave.
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 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.
