article:

Johns Hopkins Newsletter

Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in their newsletters. This
information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.

Dioxin carcinogens cause cancer. Especially breast cancer. Don't
freeze plastic water bottles with water in them as this also releases
dioxin from the plastic. Dr. Edward Fujimoto from Castle hospital was
on a TV program explaining this health hazard. (He is the manager of
the Wellness Program at the hospital.) He was talking about dioxins
and how bad they are for us.

He said we should not heat our food in the microwave using plastic
containers. This applies particularly 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. Dioxin are
carcinogens and highly toxic to the cells of our bodies. Instead, he
recommends using glass, Corning Ware, or ceramic containers for
heating food. You get the same results ...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. Just safer to use
tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc. Remember when some of the fast
food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper? The
dioxin problem is one of the reasons. To add to this: Saran wrap
placed over foods as they are nuked, with the high heat, actually
drips poisonous toxins into the food, use paper towels instead.

Please pass this on to your family & friends, and those who are
important in your life.

I read somewhere that the "new car smell" we like so much is bad for us.

I think we're all going to last for thousands of years, like the mummies.

Hey I am really sorry. I should have put a smiley at the end. I did not
mean for this in a nasty way.
I guess I'm just stupid when it comes to posting and hitting the send
button. I did catch your reference to urban legends in the title and
thought it was just a fun way to get away from the overwhelming election
stuff.

Seriously, I heard of this stuff years ago and one experiment is anecdotal
evidence. It really needs to be looked
at in a reapeatable massive set of experiments before it is considered valid
science.

OK, I've heard this years ago; a friend told me never microwave
anything in any plastic. She didn't mention any specific substances,
but she said the plastic will release chemicals into the food.

Made sense to me, so I only use glass in the microwave.

Snopes says it's "indeterminate." Well, when it comes to ingesting
something that may be unhealthy, I err on the side of caution.

And, this Snopes? Who exactly are these people? This site has come
down on the "conventional" side more than once. Not the oracle of
absolute truth by any means.
