> CANCER UPDATE FROM JOHN HOPKINS
>
> HOSPITAL , U S - PLEASE READ
>
> Please circulate to all you know Cancer update -- John
> Hopkins -- Cancer News from John Hopkins:
>
> 1. No plastic containers in microwave.
> 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. 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 food with a paper towel instead.
>
> This is an article that should be sent to anyone important in
your life!
