Cancer News From John Hopkins No plastics in microwave. No plastic wrap in microwave. Dioxins are cancer causing chemicals that are in plastics. They are released from the plastics by heat into the foods contained in those containers. Microwaving does the same thing except when the plastics are heated they rapidly vaporize these chemicals right into the food. If the food has a high fat content even more goes in. What to do? Use glass, Corning Ware, or ceramic containers for heating and storing food. You get the same results without the dioxins. So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in tempered glass or corning ware. This also applies to plastic wraps placed over foods as they are nuked, with the high heat, they actually drip poisonous toxins into the food. Use paper towels for cover. Store foods in glass. Not in plastic wraps. This is all good info for future use. What about all the dioxins already in you from past transgressions?

Author/s: Jule Klotter Issue: Jan, 2001 As a seventh grade student, Claire Nelson learned that di(ethylhexyl)adepate (DEHA), considered a carcinogen, is found in plastic wrap. She also learned that the FDA had never studied the effect of microwave cooking on plastic-wrapped food. Claire began to wonder: "Can cancer-causing particles seep into food covered with household plastic wrap while it is being microwaved?" Three years later, with encouragement from her high school science teacher, Claire set out to test what the FDA had not. Although she had an idea for studying the effect of microwave radiation on plastic-wrapped food, she did not have the equipment. Eventually, Jon Wilkes at the National Center for Toxicological Research in Jefferson, Arkansas, agreed to help her. The research center, which is affiliated with the FDA, let her use its facilities to perform her experiments, which involved microwaving plastic wrap in virgin olive oil. Claire tested four different plastic wraps and "found not just the carcinogens but also xenoestrogen was migrating into the oil." Xenoestrogens are linked to low sperm counts in men and to breast cancer in women. Throughout her junior and senior years, Claire made a couple of trips each week to the research center, which was 25 miles from her home, to work on her experiment. An article in Options reported that "her analysis found that DEHA was migrating into the oil at between 200 parts and 500 parts per million. The FDA standard is 0.05 parts per billion." Her summarized results have been published in science journals. Claire Nelson received the American Chemical Society's top science prize for students during her junior year and fourth place at the International Science and Engineering Fair (Fort Worth,Texas) as a senior.
