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
