A dioxin chemical causes cancer, especially 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, 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.




<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/o0_0o/join>
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/o0_0o/join







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 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 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.
