Plastic Kills
-
Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its Newsletters. This
information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center .
1. No plastic containers in microwave
2. No water bottles in freezer.
3. No plastic wrap in microwave.
4.Dioxin chemicals causes cancer, especially breast cancer.
5.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.
6.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.
7.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.
8.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.
9.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.
10.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.
11.Cover food with a paper towel instead. -

Burn up the plastic and problem solved

It's true plastic is harmful to a certain extend, but, not that bad like from the pointers. Certain types are meant to be used for Microwave, so it' specially engineered. But of course, don't use degraded plastic.
