Cancer Update-Important-Please Read!!?

Question

Thought this was very worthwhile so I'm sending it on to you......

Cancer 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!

Thanks for the update, but you should ensure the validity of information before posting it for all to read. This information was never released by Johns Hopkins and should no be considered as having any credability whatsoever, as it originates from a hoax email and continues to be propogated unnecessarily. For confirmation please refer to the referenced Johns Hopkins site.

Answer 4

Snopes.com says you are passing around an untrue hoax email. Anytime an email says "pass this email around to everyone" then you know that the email is a hoax. Bill Gates is not going to pay you for sending it to all your friends either.

Good for you, John. My whiskers were vibrating with suspicion as I read the post. (Can't call it a question, and it's clearly a cut-and-paste job.)

Don't believe everything you read or hear! As any good reporter will tell you, "If your mother says she loves you, check it out."
