CANCER NEWS FROM JOHNS HOPKINS HOSPITAL ... JUST A

REMINDER ...

No plastics in the microwave.

No plastic wrap in the microwave.

No water bottles in the freezer.

 

Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in their

newsletter ...worth noting... This information is

being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.

 

 

Dioxin causes cancer, especially breast cancer.

 

Don't freeze your plastic water bottles with water as

this also releases dioxins from 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 are highly toxic

to the cells of our bodies. Instead, he recommends

using glass, CorningWare, or ceramic containers for

heating food.

 

You get the same results, without the dioxins. So such

things as TV dinners, Instant Ramen,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 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 instead.
