TOXICDIOXIN

Johns Hopkins has recently
sent this out in their Newsletters, ...

This information is being
circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical
Center.

Dioxin Carcinogens
causes cancer. Especially breast cancer. Don't
freeze your plastic water
bottles with water as this also releases
dioxin 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 dioxin 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
especially to
foods that contain fat or oil. He said that the combination of
fat or
oil, 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. Paper isn't bad but
you don't know what is in the
paper. 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.

PLEASE! Pass this on to your family & friends & those
that are
important in your life! Julie Smith, Community Representative,
