hi maggie & gloria the info below might interest u.

 

Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins

 


This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as well.

 

 Please circulate to all you know; Cancer update

Johns Hopkins - Cancer News from Johns Hopkins

  • 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, and plastics 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, 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.

my sister (a breast cancer surviver)
 
sent me a health supplement called Curcumin (brand name NatXtra).
 
here's the info from the container...
" modern research & scientific study on Curcumin have been undertaken on its use in preventing & reducing the severity of many types of cancers. Studies have also been made on the role of Curcumin in reducing inflammatory conditions and reducing joint pain.
 
This supplement, extracted & brought to you by Synthite Industrial Chemical Ltd. contains the purified extract of dried tumeric rhizomes: a complex of Curcumin consisting of Curcumin, Demethoxy Curcumin & Bis Demethoxy Curcumin."
 
their website is http://www.synthite.com
 
apparently they discovered that indians in india don't seem to suffer from cancer as much as westerners do, due to the fact they eat so much curry which of course has tumeric in it.  i thought it might be of interest to you.
