Subject: Microwave Warning
Message: Subject: FW: Microwave Warning
Cancer News from Johns Hopkins:
1. No plastic containers in micro.
2. No water bottles in freezer.
3. No plastic wrap in microwave.
Johns has recently sent this out in its newsletters. This information is
being circulated at Walter Reed Army MedicalCenter as well. Dioxin
chemicals causes cancer, especially breast cancer. Doxins are highly
poisonous to the cells of our bodies. Don't freeze our 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
he 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!

Message: It really is great to have a place to go that you can trust, so as to verify things like this.....
I am not really very trusting of the mass mailings with that sort of information.
It smacks of scare tactics, to get to buy into something, sort of like the political system is so famous for!
