IJHC issues warning over plastic use.

[Guest guest]

Cancer News from Johns 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 .

Dioxin chemicals 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, 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 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, Corning Ware 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 Saran wrap 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.

 

This is an article I believe you should forward to your family and friends

-- anyone who is important in your life!

 

IJHC-WHR Observations:

Glass and crockery containers are safe.
