Plastic and hot food -- an unhealthy combination

Most people know that plastic and hot food are a bad combination in any regard. But we sometimes forget the details:
- Don't microwave in ANY type of plastic
- Don't pour hot food into any plastic container for storage -- not a plastic tub, bowl or bag.
- Don't drink hot liquids from a plastic or styrofoam cup -- choose stainless steel, porcelain, glass, or paper
- Don't stir hot foods on the stove with a plastic utensil -- choose wooden or stainless steel.

It's very simple -- plastic breaks down when it's heated and mixes with the food or liquid. Ingesting it is really unhealthy, in the short term and in the long term. Yes, it can cause cancer.

My Latest Health Discoveries

It's been a long time since I've read a book that seems life-changing. I recently read a book called Anti-Cancer: A New Way of Life by David Servan-Schreiber www.anticancerbook.com If you've ever had cancer, or pre-cancerous growth, or known someone who had or has cancer, you should read this book or recommend it to them. It takes all that you've heard about cancer and what you should do to avoid it, and sums it up. The next several blogs I write will be about various recommendations from the book.
