Cancer News From Johns Hopkins
My wife went through breast cancer in April two years ago.
This is the same thing her oncologist told her. It is a good
summary, so I will pass it on.
Cancer update -- Johns Hopkins -- Cancer News from Johns Hopkins:
1. No plastic containers in microwave.
2. No water bottles in freezer.
3. No plastic wrap in microwave.
Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters.
This information is being circulated at Walter Reed 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. Edward 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 frozen 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 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
