<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3></FONT><BR>Subject: Cancer News From
Johns Hopkins<BR><BR>No plastics in microwave. No water bottles in freezer. No
plastic wrap in microwave.<BR><BR>Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in
their newsletters worth<BR>noting... This information is being circulated at
Walter Reed Army Medical<BR>Center.<BR><BR>Dioxin Carcinogens cause cancer,
especially breast cancer. Don't freeze <BR>your plastic water bottles with water
as this also releases dioxins in the<BR>plastic.<BR><BR>Dr. Edward Fujimoto from
Castle hospital was on a TV program explaining <BR>this health hazard. (He is
the manager of the Wellness Program at the hospital.)<BR><BR>He was talking
about dioxins and how bad they are for us. He said that we<BR>should not be
heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers.<BR><BR>This applies
to foods that contain fat. He said that the combination of <BR>fat, high heat
and plastics releases dioxins into the food and ultimately into<BR>the cells of
the body. Dioxins are carcinogens and highly toxic to the <BR>cells of our
bodies. Instead, he recommends using glass, Corning Ware, or
ceramic<BR>containers for heating food. You get the same results, without the
dioxins.<BR><BR>So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups,
etc.,should be<BR>removed from the container and heated in something else. Paper
isn't bad <BR>but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer to use
tempered glass,<BR>Corning Ware, etc. He said we might remember when some of the
fast food<BR>restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper. The
dioxin <BR>problem is one of the reasons.<BR><BR>To add to this, Saran wrap
placed over foods as they are nuked, with the<BR>high heat, actually drips
poisonous toxins into the food, use paper towels.<BR><BR>Pass this on to your
family & friends & those that are important in your
life<BR><BR></DIV></BODY></HTML>
