Guest guest Posted August 12, 2001 Report Share Posted August 12, 2001 Colleen You're right about being able to smell the soap thru it. That really helps the soap. I was using shrink wrap totally for a while but you couldn't smell the soap. Now that I've switched to about 90% of it wrapped in Sam's Choice, the people can really smell it. That may have helped increase my sales at the store, too. I have a question for anyone who will answer. I want to try Deb's lotion (Thanks, Deb!!) but I don't have a "stick blender." I know someone was talking about them at the gathering but I don't exactly remember what it is. Can I find them at WalMart or do I have to go someplace like Lechter's for a stick blender?

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2002 Report Share Posted March 4, 2002 I just purchased l/4 of the beef and it is all wrapped in plastic. Do I need to replace this with butcher paper from my local IGA? Thanks again, Joy-full of question today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 Subject: Cancer update -- s Hopkins Cancer update -- s Hopkins -- Cancer News from s Hopkins : 1. No plastic containers in micro. 2. No water bottles in freezer. 3. No plastic wrap in microwave. s Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters. This information is being circulated at Walter Army Medical Center as well. Dioxin chemicals causes cancer, especially breast cancer. Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies. Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic. Recently, Dr. Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Castle Hospital , was on a TV program to explain this health hazard. He talked 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 especially applies to foods that contain fat. He said that the combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body. Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food. You get the same results, only without the dioxin. 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 reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper. The dioxin problem is one of the reasons. Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food. Cover food with a paper towel instead. This is an article that should be sent to anyone important in your life! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
