The Dangers of Plastic Containers, Wraps, Etc.

All plastic contains dioxin carcinogens, which causes cancer, especially breast cancer. Dioxin are carcinogens and highly toxic to the cells of our bodies.

Dr. Edward Fujimoto from Castle hospital was on a TV program explaining this health hazard. (He is the manager of the Wellness Program at the hospital.) He was talking about dioxin and how bad they are for us.

This includes all plastic containers, plastic wraps, plastic bottles, plastic foam containers, etc.

Plastic containers should never be used for storing foods or drinks. Also do not freeze foods in plastic or plastic bags, and do not freeze plastic water bottles with water in them since this also releases dioxin in the plastic.

Instead, he recommends using glass, Corning Ware, or ceramic containers for foods and drinks.

He said we might remember when some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper. The dioxin problem is one of the reasons.
