Cancer Update from John Hopkins


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

No plastic containers in microwave.


cid:image003.jpg@01C918CF.527EFA40
No water bottles in freezer.


cid:image004.jpg@01C918CF.527EFA40
No plastic wrap in microwave.

A dioxin chemical causes cancer, especially breast cancer.

cid:image006.jpg@01C918CF.527EFA40

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.

cid:image007.jpg@01C918CF.527EFA40

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.

cid:image008.jpg@01C918CF.527EFA40

He said that we should not be heating our food in the

Microwave using plastic containers...

cid:image009.jpg@01C918CF.527EFA40

This especially applies to foods that contain fat.

cid:image010.jpg@01C918CF.527EFA40

He said that the combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin

Into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body...

cid:image011.jpg@01C918CF.527EFA40

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...

cid:image012.jpg@01C918CF.527EFA40


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.

This is an article that should be sent

To anyone important in

Your life!

ALSO -------------------------------------

Bottled water in your car

Very dangerous.


This is how Sheryl Crow got breast cancer. She was on the Ellen show and said this same exact thing. This has been identified as the most common cause of the high levels in breast cancer, especially in Australia .

A friend whose mother was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and the Doctor told her: women should not drink bottled water that has been left in a car.

The doctor said that the heat and the plastic of the bottle have certain chemicals that can lead to breast cancer. So please be careful and do not drink bottled water that has been left in a car, and, pass this on to all the women in your life. This information is the kind we need to know and be aware and just might save us! The heat causes toxins from the plastic to leak into the water and they have found these toxins in
breast tissue. Use a stainless steel Canteen or a glass bottle when you can!

LET EVERYONE WHO HAS A WIFE / GIRLFRIEND / DAUGHTER KNOW PLEASE.
