Dioxins In The Food

John Hopkins sent this out in their newsletters. This information
is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Centre. (This was released last year but still very much a current problem).

Dioxin Carcinogens cause cancer. Especially breast cancer. Don't freeze plastic
water bottles with water in them as this releases dioxin from 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 dioxins and how bad they are for us.

He said we should not heat our food in microwave using "PLASTIC" containers
This applies particularly 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. Dioxins are carcinogens and highly toxic to the cells of our
bodies. Instead, he recommends using glass, or ceramic containers for heating
food. You get the same results, without the dioxin.

So such things as TV dinners, instant Ramin 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,etc.

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 instead.

PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO YOUR FAMILY & FRIENDS & THOSE WHO ARE
IMPORTANT IN YOUR LIFE
