][align=justify]Dioxin chemicals cause cancer, especiall 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.
