Cancer Update News from The John Hopkins Hospital

1. No plastic containers in microwave.

2. No water bottles in freezer.

3. No plastic wrap in microwave.
 
Johns Hopkins has recently sent this information out in its newsletters & is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.

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 applies to foods that contain fat. He said that the combination of fat, high heat and plastics release dioxins into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body.

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's 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 Saran wrap is just as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave.  As the food is naked, 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.

Nouvelles sur le cancer en provenance du John Hopkins Hospital

1. Pas de contenant en plastique dans le micro-onde.

2. Pas de bouteilles d'eau congelée dans le congélateur.

3. Pas d'enveloppement en plastique dans le micro-onde.

Johns Hopkins Hospital a fait parvenir ceci récemment dans une lettre de nouvelles.  Cette information circule présentement au Walter-Reed Hospital du Centre médical de l'armée.

La dioxine est hautement poison pour les cellules de notre corps.  Ne pas congeler des bouteilles de plastique avec de l'eau à l'intérieur parce cela relâche des dioxines en provenance du plastique.

Récemment, le Dr Edward Fujimoto, gérant du programme de bien-être au Castle hopital, était à un programme télévisé pour expliquer ce danger pour la santé.  Il a parlé des dioxines et affirmé combien elles étaient dangereuses pour nous tous.

Il a dit que nous ne devrions pas réchauffer nos aliments dans le micro-onde en employant des contenants en plastique.  Il a dit que la combinaison des graisses, la haute température et le plastique transmettaient des dioxines dans les aliments et en définitive dans les cellules de notre corps.
