Plastic can cause cancer]

[Guest guest]

Johns Hopkins has recently

sent this out in their

newsletters...This information is being circulated at

Walter Reed Army Medical Center.

 

Dioxin Carcinogens causes cancer. Especially breast

cancer. Don't freeze your plastic water bottles with

water as this also releases dioxin in 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 dioxin 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

dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of

the body.

 

 

 

Dioxin are carcinogens and highly toxic to the cells

of our bodies.

 

Instead, he recommends using glass, Corning Ware, or

ceramic containers for heating food. You get the same

results, 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. 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.
