Cancer update: 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.
