[b]Bottled
water in your car is
very
dangerous![/b]
On the Ellen show, Sheryl Crow said this is what caused her breast
cancer. It has been identified as the most common cause
of the high levels of dioxin in breast cancer
tissue.
Sheryl
Crow's oncologist told her:women
should not drink bottled water that has been left in a car.
The heat reacts with the chemicals in the plastic of the
bottle which releases dioxin into the water. Dioxin is
a toxin increasingly found in breast cancer tissue.
So please be careful and do not drink bottled water that has
been left in a car. Pass this on to all the women in yourlife.
This information is the kind we need to know that just might save
us! Use a stainless steel canteen or a glass bottle instead of plastic!
LET EVERYONE WHO HAS A WIFE / GIRLFRIEND /
DAUGHTER KNOW PLEASE!
This
information is also being circulated at Walter Reed
Army Medical Center
No plastic
containers in
microwave.
No
water
bottles in freezer
No
plastic wrap
in microwave.
A dioxin
chemical causes cancer, especially breast
cancer.
Dioxins
are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies. Don't freeze your plastic
bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic. Recently, 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.
He 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,=2 0and plastic 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 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 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, such as Saran wrap,
is just as dangerous when placed
over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is nuked, the
high
[b]heat
causes poisonous toxins [/b]to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and
drip into the food.
Cover
food with a paper towel
instead.

I never drink anything that has been left in the car...even water. I had erad this a couplr of years ago and didn't know if it was true or not.
I did not know about the freezing aspect though! I will have to let my daugters know about this, because they are always putting bottled water in the freezer to get slushy before cheer practice.
Mot of the tv dinners that I purchase have gone to paper/cardboard boxes, so this is a good thing!

Yes, I just recently read in the newspaper, that not all plastic is made in the microwave. Most of the time, if it says its microwave safe, they are telling the truth. I will have to look it up, but I think if the plastic container has the 7 in the middle of a circle on the bottom, then it really is safe (but I may have that backwards)
