CANCER NEWS - FROM JOHNS HOPKINS HOSPITAL
JUST A REMINDER.......
***No plastics in micro.
*** No water bottles in freezer.
*** No plastic wrap in micro.
Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in their
newsletter ...worth noting.
This information is being circulated at Walter Reed
Army Medical Center.
Dioxin Carcinogens cause cancer, especially breast
cancer. Don't freeze your plastic water bottles with
water as this also releases dioxins in the plastic.
Dr. Edward Fujimoto from Castle hospital was on a TV
program explaining this health hazard. (He is the
manager of the Wellness Program at the hospital.) He
was talking 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 dioxins into
the food and ultimately into the cells of the body.
Dioxins are carcinogens and highly toxic to the cells
of our bodies.
Instead, he recommends using glass, Corning Ware, or
ceramic containers for heating food. You get the same
results, without the dioxins. 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 said we might remember when
some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the
foam containers to paper. The dioxin problem is one
of the reasons.
To add to this, Saran wrap placed over foods as they
are nuked, with the high heat, actually drips
poisonous toxins into the food; use paper towels.
**Pass this on to your family & friends & those that
are important in your life.
