[Vision2020] PLASTICS AND CANCER - PLEASE READ - FYI

[Dick Schmidt]

Jack,

Notice that the FDA is involved in this and in the future I am going to abide by the information contained in the warning. The FDA is the one who told us that recent drug discoveries are OK for us but now they are being proved wrong.

  It appears that this is a hoax.

  Subject: Cancer News From Johns Hopkins

  No plastics in microwave. No water bottles in freezer. No plastic wrap in microwave.

  Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in their newsletters 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
