>CANCER NEWS FROM JOHNS-HOPKINS !!!!

>No plastics in micro.
>No water bottles in freezer.
>No plastic wrap in micro.

>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 re leases 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.
