Dioxin chemcials cause breast cancer and other cancers.
Dioxins are released when plastic bottles are filled with water and put in the freezer; plastic wraps, like Saran, are put over food to be cooked in the microwave; and plastic containers are put in the microwave oven.
I've been storing food in those cheap, plastic containers for years. I've even frozen sauces, etc. in them. Guess I'll stop that, asap. I've never heated anything in the microwave in them. But if plastic bottles shouldn't be put in the freezer, it follows that food shouldn't be frozen in plastic containers, either. What say U?
Ciao for now,
