(could be true as Ed usually says) But I should be dead; I shouldda died YEAR N YEARS AGO ifn this was true--or does it take 150 years to work it's magic. I, for one, will continue to heat plastic wrapped foods, plastic containers & TV dinners in the microwave and dare the inevitable...I tell ya'...dare it...(as AC would probably say) to kill me!

halicat unregistered Posts: 8492 From: Oakfield, WI, USA Registered: MAR 2002	posted 04-11-2005 05:11 PM its hard to make a generalization when talking about plastic... they are so different in their composition.... PVC is quite toxic both in its raw state and especially if its burned... Polyethylene on the other hand is an entirely different substance that is very inert in its raw state and fairly harmless when burned and is actually self dampening. the most recent source for the de-bunking argument is 3 years old , and one is 15 years old.... things change quickly .. who knows what the real facts are. I have to say, even before this article .. i wondered if anything comes off of a heated plastic from the microwave process....We have come along way since we soldered tin cans together with lead... John Franklin found out about that one. signed Professor Frink from the Simpson's
kat hunter Prowler Junkie Posts: 1049 From: central Illinois Registered: JUL 2003	posted 04-11-2005 05:46 PM For those with questions all it takes is a quick search at John Hopkins University site to answer the question. http://www.jhsph.edu/PublicHealthNews/articles/Halden_dioxins.html http://www.jhsph.edu/PublicHealthNews/articles/Halden_plastics.html
halicat unregistered Posts: 1049 From: central Illinois Registered: JUL 2003	posted 04-11-2005 05:59 PM Thanks Kat hunter for these... Great articles and up to date information....basically heating has some risks.. burning definitely risky... but freezing or unheated containers no prob... The hormone issue definitely explains Boy George and Michael Jackson !!

Bob Miller Prowler Junkie Posts: 4576 From: Alexandria, Virginian USA Registered: OCT 2003	posted 04-13-2005 07:43 AM My brother is a radiation oncologist in Camarillo, CA and from my conversations with him it seems some people are predisposed at birth to be more vulnerable to cancer than other people. That does mean they have death sentence, just more susceptible to uncontrolled cell growth. When you factor in the impact of the environment (air pollution, asbestos, second hand smoke, etc) and one's lifestyle choices (tobacco, cooking with plastic, fatty foods etc.), some people are just more vulnerable than others to contract some form of cancer.
TooHipCat Prowler Junkie Posts: 4173 From: Londonderry,NH Registered: MAR 2004	posted 04-13-2005 10:02 AM Thanks Jim! Good info. I always take the plastic wrap off my plate before I nuke it. I try and cover it with a moist paper towel to prevent food splatter while it is cooking. The paper towel method doesn't work very well when I'm reheating my spaghetti that has a 3" layer of Velveeta cheese on top. Brian
SILVRKAT Prowler Junkie Posts: 456 From: Capon Bridge, WV USA Registered: JAN 2005	posted 04-13-2005 12:52 PM Several years ago I found that saranwrap if heated for 10 minutes or more in the microwave became very soft and could then be rolled into a ball and chewed like warm bubble gum. If sugar was added before heating the taste was much like RedMan, of course you should spit the juice like chewing tobacco and not swallow it. I'm sure some health nut will say that this is also bad for you!
Neal & Mary Ann Bardens Prowler Junkie Posts: 587 From: Lowell Indiana USA Registered: JUL 2002	posted 04-13-2005 07:29 PM My father found in the 70's that dogs and cats eating & drinking from certain non-UV stabilized plastic bowls were suffering Neurological damage. The plastic was deteriorating and giving off small amounts of arsenic and tri-hexcal phenol.This resulted in the FDA issuing a warning not to reuse any plastic food packaging.
