050428 - John Hopkins< NO PLASTIC IN MICROWAVE, NO WATER BOTTLES IN FREZER

No plastics in microwave. No water bottles in freezer. No plastic wrap in microwave. John Hopkins has recently sent these warnings out in their newsletter. This information is also 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 releases dioxin in the plastic. Do not heat food in the microwave using plastic containers. This applies to foods that contain fat. The combination of fat, high heat, and plastics release dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body.
Dioxin carcinogens are highly toxic to the cells of our bodies. Instead, use glass, Corning Ware, or ceramic containers for heating food. TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc. should be removed from the container and heated in something else. It's safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc. 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 and friends.
