>>Dr. Edward Fujimoto from Castle hospital was explaining this health

>>(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.
