[SoFlaVegans] Microwaves, Plastics and Dioxins

[Guest guest]

Dear Jean...

 

Thank you for posting this information... You were right in reminding us there

are two sides to every story...

 

I don't know who the hoaxbusters are, and I can only hope they are not akin to

the quackbusters, who intentionally distribute disinformation to achieve a

particular end...

 

I had several people forward me other scientific studies that support the

position that microwaves are indeed harmful... I will also post these to the

site, just so everyone can draw their own conclusions...

 

For myself, I readily admit I am not a scientist, so in the final analysis, I

really base my decisions on my gut feeling... I don't trust microwaves, but

that is me... I also don't trust the people that tell us pesticides are safe,

genetically modified food is safe, that irradiation is safe... So for me,

myself and I, I prefer to not take a chance and just make the time to boil water

or reheat a meal in the toaster oven.

 

Please always feel safe and supported in questioning anything I post... Nothing

here is beyond exploration and investigation...

 

Be Well,

Misty L. Trepke

From Cornell University's Cooperative Extension service at

http://www.cce.cornell.edu/food/fsarchives/050602/microwaving.html we

find:

 

Another apparent Internet hoax about food safety has attracted the

attention of extension educators around the US. The apparent

misinformation has been e-mailed to people and purports to quote a

Dr. Edward Fujimoto, " manager of the Wellness Program at Castle

Hospital " (location not given), who appeared on TV talking about

dioxins and how they get into fatty food heated in microwave ovens

using plastic containers. Instead, he recommended using glass,

Corning Ware, or ceramic containers for heating food, including food

that is sold in " microwaveable " plastic containers.
