No kidding. In a new car I continually have to wipe chemical outpourings from my interior windows. It makes me wonder, are these preservatives going to help me live longer, or just keep my corps intact for an extra hundred years? Rob

I read somewhere that the "new car smell" we like so much is bad for us. I think we’re all going to last for thousands of years, like the mummies. Sylvia

Think of that the next time you climb into your car after it’s been in the sun on hot afternoon.

Read this following and the go to the site posted at the end of this article: Johns Hopkins Newsletter Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in their newsletters. This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. Dioxin carcinogens cause cancer. Especially breast cancer. Don’t freeze plastic water bottles with water in them as this also releases dioxin from the plastic. 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 dioxins and how bad they are for us. He said we should not heat our food in the microwave using plastic containers. This applies particularly 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. Dioxin are carcinogens and highly toxic to the cells of our bodies. Instead, he recommends using glass, Corning Ware, or ceramic containers for heating food. You get the same results …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. Just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc. Remember when some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper? The dioxin problem is one of the reasons. To add to this: Saran wrap placed over foods as they are nuked, with the high heat, actually drips poisonous toxins into the food, use paper towels instead. Please pass this on to your family & friends, and those who are important in your life. Now read the material in the following site and compare the information: http://www.snopes.com/toxins/plastic.htm

Does that mean I can no longer take a nalgene bottle and freeze it for a hike? How many years does it take before I see the effects? Since I was born I have been in the process of dying. I hear you can die from water poisoning too. > He said we should not heat our food in the microwave using plastic > containers. This applies particularly to foods that contain fat. He
Are you sure this isn’t pcb’s or estrogenic compounds that are leaching into our water system and causing fish and frogs to be all female instead? Celeste

Hey I am really sorry. I should have put a smiley at the end. I did not mean for this in a nasty way. I guess I’m just stupid when it comes to posting and hitting the send button. I did catch your reference to urban legends in the title and thought it was just a fun way to get away from the overwhelming election stuff. Seriously, I heard of this stuff years ago and one experiment is anecdotal evidence. It really needs to be looked at in a reapeatable massive set of experiments before it is considered valid science.

OK, I’ve heard this years ago; a friend told me never microwave anything in any plastic. She didn’t mention any specific substances, but she said the plastic will release chemicals into the food. Made sense to me, so I only use glass in the microwave. Snopes says it’s "indeterminate." Well, when it comes to ingesting something that may be unhealthy, I err on the side of caution. And, this Snopes? Who exactly are these people? This site has come down on the "conventional" side more than once. Not the oracle of absolute truth by any means. Sylvia

I still rinse the daylights out of any plastic containers in my house using cold water. You can smell the chemicals in the plastics when it heats up. Even just using hot tap water. That cant be good for you. Time will tell though. Rob
