health hazard

On Channel 2 (USA) this morning. They had a Dr. Edward Fujimoto from Castle
Hospital on the program. 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 saimin
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. 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.

Pass this on to your family and friends.
