Someone in my family recently died of cancer. So naturally, we all became a little more serious about collecting information on its causes.

I remember something about how freezing water in plastic bottles releases dioxin and that it was purported to have come from John’s Hopkins. Well, come to find out the claim falsely used Johns Hopkins as the source.

Freezing water in plastic bottles does not release dioxin. Neither does using plastic to heat food in a microwave. However, there is still a question about heating fatty foods in plastic containers.

Also, I learned recently that using those ‘one-use’ type plastic containers in which butter, whipping cream, etc are sold should never be used in a microwave.

To be safe you really should use only glass.

Just thought you might want to know.
