Hi Lloyd ,

much love & light

Note that this comes from Walter
Reed Medical Center---
I did this every day but will stop after reading this!!!
Don't freeze your plastic water bottles
with water because it creates
Dioxin Carcinogens
It is especially important that parents take time to read this information.
It is being currently circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.
Dioxin Carcinogens are a documented cause of cancer. Especially
breast cancer. Don't freeze your plastic water bottles with water
as freezing
releases dioxin in the plastic. Dr. Edward Fujimoto from Castle
hospital
was recently interviewed on a TV program explaining this health hazard.
(He is the manager of the Wellness Program at the hospital.) He
was talking about Dioxin Carcinogens and how bad they are for us.
He also 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 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.
Pure paper isn't bad but you never know what else is in the paper. It
is
safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc.
He said we might remember when some of the fast food restaurants moved
away from the foam containers to paper. The dioxin problem is one
of the
reasons.
In addition: Saran wrap placed over
foods as they are nuked, with the high heat, actually drips poisonous
toxins into the food,
use paper towels.
