You ppl may have already seen this or got received this as an email. But thought I post this in case if anyone has not 
C ancer update -- Johns Hopkins -- Cancer News from Johns Hopkins :
1. No plastic containers in micro.
2. No water bottles in freezer.
3. No plastic wrap in microwave.
Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters. This
information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army MedicalCenter as
well.
Dioxin chemicals 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, 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.
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. 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.
This is an article that should be sent to anyone important in your
life!
