A friend shared this item with me. I would like to remind those who already knew these facts and I am just hoping that this blog may inform those who are not yet aware of this precaustionary measures:
* No plastic containers or plastic wrap
in microwave.
We should not be heating our food in the
microwave using plastic containers... This especially applies to foods that contain fats.
The combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body... A dioxin chemical causes cancer, especially breast cancer. Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies.
Instead, use 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.
Be reminded 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...
Plastic wrap, such as Gladwrap, 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.
* No water bottles in freezer.
Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic.
* Bottled water in your car can be very
dangerous.
The heat and the plastic of the bottle have certain chemicals that can lead to breast cancer. The heat causes toxins from the plastic that leak into the water and doctors have found these toxins in breast tissue. So please be careful and do not drink bottled water that has been left in a car.
This information is the kind we need to know, be aware and just might save us!
