Cancer Update

To all my Friends: You know how important you all are to me and when I receive information that concerns your health I am obligated to make sure you get all the facts. I wish you all best of health!             

 

Cancer update                     

 
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 Medical Center 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.. 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!

Hi nick,

Thanks for reminding us of these things.  It is so easy to forget when you are in a hurry in the kitchen.  The plastic wrappers much come off before heating - whatever the instructions say!!

Love
Jenny

Hello Nick

Thanks for the reminder. This is something we just don't seem to give a second thought. The water bottle thing is new to me, I always put my water bottle with about  1/3 water in the freezer until I am ready to use it then I fill it with water and it stays cold longer.  Won't be doing that anymore.

Hello Nick,

I have another one, that will take care of quite a lot of the above problems.

No microwaves.  Get rid of it.  The microwaves are very bad for you and change the molecules in the food that is placed in it.  You are ingesting a foreign substance. 

Look at the high incidences in different types of cancers, stomach and colon.

When you go back to oven cooking, which takes a bit longer, but what is your health worth to you? You will find that your food actually tastes better.  Hmmm.... Wonder why?

Kindest regards,

Luella May and John Elliott, aka Oaky Wood
