Dioxin Carcinogens causes cancer. Especially breast cancer.
Dioxins are carcinogens and highly toxic to the cells of our bodies.
Studies show that Dioxins release from plastics when heated or cooled.
Styrofaom and plastic containers when heated in the microwave or frozen in the freezer release dioxins.
This applies mostly but not limited to the foods that contain fat. The combination of fat, high heat or extreme cold and plastics releases dioxins into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body immediately.
Although the new e-mail flooding cyberspace doesn't hold the same truth, The "don't freeze your water bottles"... an easy rule is if the plastic easily scratches or marks by your finger nail...... it will release dioxins. Water bottles won't.
So such things as TV dinners, instant snacks and soups, etc. should be removed from the container and heated in something else.
Remember when some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper. The dioxin problem is one of the reasons.
One of the worst things happening right now is the heating of formulas and milks for infants in microwaves..... if it scratches or marks with a fingernail drag....TOSS IT OUT!!!!!!!!!! or heat the formula or milk in a glass container and then put it in that bottle or sippie cup!
Pass this information to anyone you know with infants or small children........PLEASE
