> He was talking about dioxin and how bad they are for us.

> the combination of fat, high heat and plastics releases dioxin into the

> food and ultimately into the cells of the body.

> Dioxin are carcinogens and highly toxic to the cells of our bodies.

> Instead, he recommends using glass, Corning Ware, or ceramic containers

>

> So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups ,etc., should be

> Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper.

> 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 you

> life.
