Does the aluminum foil get into the food?

I dunno...maybe wrapping the fish in a few layers of kale would do the trick.

I would bet thats true. I just figured its probably better than

aluminum but I guess the best bet is to eat as much fresh as possible. But

what does one do with left-overs that need to go in the fridge? I do use

Ziplock bags too. Or those desposable plastic containers. I think it might

be ideal to use those old refrigerator dished that came with glass lids but

to collect them is so expensive and I haven't seen where they can be bought

as new or reproductions except on Martha Stewart's site and of course you

have to be a billionaire like she is to afford them. One would need many to

have them be useful.

Change slowly and get what you can afford when you can afford it - this way

you are at least making some headway with the problem. I always try to

ensure that the food is in a deep container so that the plastic wrap does not

actually touch it.

I think plastic is dangerous used in the microwave because that makes it emit

artificial estrogens. I don't know if it's dangerous in the refrigerator.

Unfortunately I cannot remember where or what I read on this subject but it

was that plastic should not touch the food - it creates some sort of

reaction. I think I will err on the side of caution and continue to make

sure that they do not come into contact. I think using microwaves is the

biggest danger on it's own!

Hello Arizona

I have purchased glass storage containers with plastic lids (that don't touch

the food) through our Frontier Co-op... They were only about $1.30 or so...

Unfortunately, they run pretty small, but it's a start and usually I don't

have huge quantities of left-overs anyway...:-)

Xenoestrogen is the word I was trying to think of when I said artificial

estrogen.

Well I believe microwaves are just plain not healthy no matter what

you stick in them. And I hear that the molecules of the plastic go into the

food if you heat your food up in any sort of plastic dish in a microwave...so

thats enough for me to not use it.

It was explained to me like this. A microwave heats up the food by

its molecules rubbing up next to each other causing heat....since the natural

vibration of the food was changed and we consume it, it does not hold the

same properties it did in its natural state then it screws up our vibrational

state as well.

Studies were done by a bunch of doctors from Stanford University years

ago on animals and the harmful effects of the microwave. I was told by one

of those doctors if I had seen what it did to the animals, I would never even

allow a microwave in my home. I believe him. He was a Chiropractor and good

friends with Hanna Kroeger and he studied with many doctors who did

(underground) research at Stanford University. The majority of the other

doctors were medical doctors who risked their careers to expose many truths.

The heat has to release petrochemicals from anything plastic I was just

thinking about my ice cube trays..(I wonder aobut the plastoic bottles our

supplements are in some are glass but not all)

I fill them the trays with good water and they are plastic .I remember when

my mom had aluminum ice cube tray s with a little gadget that released the

ice cubes Nothing is healthful ..

What about t.v's and radiation?

<< --- Marianne,

I agree with you. Dr. Lorraine Day...the doctor who recovered

from breast cancer states the same. She claims that microwaved foods

should not be used on her videos. She advocates avoiding any contact

with microwaving due to high radiation which enters the food during

the cooking process.

Hi Arizona,

i think you will find that plastic wrap is just as harmful as the a/foil.

>>>>>I do not cook with it.

Yuk.........i did, for over 30 yrs.

I also used Mum roll on deodorant, (22% aluminium) as the *experts* here

said it was the spray deodorant's that were bad for us.

I have been using b/soda since someone in the group suggested it, and it

works.

Try a covered glass casserole dish.

You don't really get the same end results with a casserole dish though.

I only used a/foil for wild venison and pork. Done with a/foil the

flavour/texture was out of this world, in a casserole dish, it was just

another stew.

Will ring or email the greenies here later on and see if we have an

alternative, though if you haven't over there, we sure wont have one here.

Regards Dorothy.

Ah heck.... I just put leftovers in a dinner bowl and put a saucer or a

lunchplate on top of it.
