Plastic Containers

 

 

 

Please circulate to all you know Cancer update -- John Hopkins -- 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 as

well.

 

Dioxin chemicals cause 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 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.
