Subject: Cancer warning from (a famous hospital, whose name is being deleted)

No plastics in microwave.

No water bottles in freezer.

No plastic wrap in microwave - the (famous name)  hospital has recently sent
this out in their newsletters worth noting...

This information is (supposedly) being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical
Center.

Dioxin Carcinogens cause cancer, especially breast cancer.

Don't freeze your plastic water bottles with water as this also releases
dioxins in the plastic.

Dr. Edward (deleted)  from (deleted) 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 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 dioxins
into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body.

Dioxins 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 dioxins.

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 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.

To add to this, (deleted plastic tradename) wrap placed over foods as they are
nuked, with the high heat, actually drips poisonous toxins into the food, use
paper towels.

Pass this on to your family & friends & those that are important in you life
