CANCER NEWS FROM JOHN HOPKINS UNIVERSITY; JUST A REMINDER....... 
 
 

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 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.
Pass this on to your family & friends & those that are important in your
life
