Pick My Brain If You dare

Bottled water in your car is

very  dangerous!


 
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 l left in a car.  Pass this on to all the women in  your life
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,
and  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
heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap  and drip into the food.
Cover food with a paper towel instead.
 
This is an  
article that should be sent
To anyone important in
Your life!

Thank you for posting the Snopes link ,Julie. I was about to go check on that.LOL. I wonder how these things get started. They sound very real but they turn out to be unfounded rumors.  I guess we all have enough to worry about already,don't we?
