Warning Bottled Water

Update from Johns-Hopkins

> Bottled water in your car is very dangerous. This is how
> Sheryl Crow got breast cancer. She was on the Ellen show
> and said this same exact thing. This has been identified
> as the most common cause of the high levels in breast
> cancer, especially in Australia.

> A friend whose mother was recently diagnosed with breast
> cancer and the Doctor told her: women should not drink
> bottled water that has been left in a car.

> The doctor said that the heat and the plastic of the bottle
> have certain chemicals that can lead to breast cancer . So
> please be careful and do not drink bottled water that has
> been left in a car, and, pass this on to all the women in
> your life. The heat causes toxins from the plastic to
> leak into the water and they have found these toxins in
> breast tissue. Use a stainless steel Canteen or a glass
> bottle when you can!

> LET EVERYONE WHO HAS A WIFE / GIRLFRIEND / DAUGHTER KNOW PLEASE.

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