CANCER Update -Looking After Your Health
15 April 2009

Cancer is a serious threat which is not taken seriously by many until it strikes ‎them. It can be avoided so please read this cancer update by John Hopkins. This ‎information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as well. ‎


Do NOT use PLASTIC containers in microwave ovens


No WATER BOTTLES in the FREEZER.


No PLASTIC wrap in microwave. ‎


A dioxin chemical causes cancer, especially breast cancer.

Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies. When you freeze ‎water in plastic bottles they release dioxins from the plastic. ‎


Edward Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Castle Hospital, explained ‎on TV the health hazards of dioxins to the human body.‎


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. Foods such 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 why they did so.‎



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. ‎

‎“Prevention is better than cure” and taking care of your health is essential. Invest ‎now rather than having to pay expensive bill, suffer unduly and end up dying ‎quicker.‎
