microwaving/freezing plastic

[Guest guest]

The following was sent to me by a friend. Although I don't know how true it

is, I have heard it before:

> >Carcinogens cause cancer. Especially breast cancer. Don't freeze your

plastic water bottles with water as this also releases dioxins in the

plastic. Dr. Fujimoto from Castle Hospital was on a TV program, ( Dr.

Phil), 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 Noodles 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 friends...
