>> Dioxin chemicals causes cancer, especially breast

>> Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our

>> 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.
