Plastic Wrap
Toxins. 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.

this morning they had a Dr. Edward Fujimoto from Castle Hospital on the program.
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 that we should not be heating our
food in the microwave using plastic containers. This applies to foods that
contain fat. He said that the combination of fat, high heat and plastics
releases dioxins into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body.
Dioxins 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 dioxins. So such things as TV dinners,
instant saimin 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. 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.
Pass this on to your friends....
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 towel instead.
