Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as well. Please circulate to all you know; Cancer update Johns Hopkins - Cancer News from Johns Hopkins No plastic containers in micro No water bottles in freezer. No plastic wrap in microwave... A di oxin 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 wh at 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.
