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</span></font></p>
