Cancer Warning Said To Be An
Email Hoax?
By Andrew Perretti

Recently the internet has been flooded with
emails reporting  that Johns Hopkins issued a
warning regarding the use of
plastic containers in
micro
, water bottle in the freezer, and plastic wrap
in the micro wave
. The email warnings implied
that the same information is being circulated at
Walter Reed Army Medical Center, and  that
Dioxin chemicals causes cancer,  especially
breast cancer.

It reports that Dioxins are highly poisonous to the
cells of our bodies and to not freeze your plastic
bottles with water in them because 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. Dr. Fujimoto 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 soups, and alike, should be removed from
the container and heated in something else.
Paper isn't bad but since you don't know what is
in the paper it's just safer to use tempered glass,
Corning Ware, or similar containers whenever
possible. 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 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. It goes on to suggest that this article that
should be sent to anyone important in your life so
they can know what was published in the Johns
Hopkins Update.

The transition from the convenient plastic and
foam container provided for us by frozen food
manufacturers is entirely up to you. However, it's
important for you to know all the facts.  I have
included a link to the
Johns Hopkins Bloomberg
School of Public Health interview with Rolf
Halden, PhD, PE for another opinion on this scary
but critically important subject matter.
Why not write an article for
the Miami News? How about
sending us a picture with a
cut line? Maybe you can
recommend your favorite
restaurant, or discuss a
cultural event you've
attended? Get involved and
be noticed... help us make
Miami contagious....
