Cancer update -- Johns Hopkins -- 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 as

well.



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.. 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 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 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 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 the food with a paper towel.

This is an article that should be sent to anyone important in

your

life!
