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 MedicalCenter 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.
