Hi! folks,
I don't know how true this is, but it's a situation worth avoiding….

Cancer News From Johns Hopkins Medical Center

No plastics in microwave...
No water bottles in freezer...
No plastic wrap in microwave...

Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in their newsletters worth
noting... This information is also being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.

Dioxin Carcinogens cause cancer, especially breast cancer. Don't freeze
your plastic water bottles with water as this also releases dioxins in the plastic.

Dr. Edward Fujimoto from Castle hospital was on a TV program 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 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.
