Good Morning,

It is another lovely day and even though I am in a lot of pain I am not going to let that stand in my way of having a good day. Here is some interesting news that was sent to me.

Subject: Cancer news


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.


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 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, Corning Ware 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 Saran wrap 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.
