What do you know about Dioxin Carcinogens in plastic?
Something you might want to consider
Don't freeze your plastic water bottles with water because it creates
Dioxin Carcinogens
It is especially important that parents take time to read this
information. It is being currently circulated at Walter Reed Army
Medical Center.
Dioxin Carcinogens are a documented cause of cancer. Especially breast
cancer.
Don't freeze your plastic water bottles with water as freezing releases
dioxin in the plastic. Dr. Edward Fujimoto from Castle hospital was
recently interviewed on a TV program explaining this health hazard. (He
is the manager of the Wellness Program at the hospital.) He was talking
about Dioxin Carcinogens and how bad they are for us. He also 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. Dioxin 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 dioxin. So such things as TV dinners, instant
ramen and soups, etc., should be
removed from the container and heated in something else.
Pure paper isn't bad but you never know what else is in the paper. It is
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.
In addition: 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...
