有關微波爐安全問題
傳言說：
養生須知 | 2007-04-28 09:04:37
- 微波爐不得用塑膠容器
- .冷凍室內不得放水瓶
- 微波爐內不得用塑料包覆膜
- 戴奧辛化學品致癌，尤其是乳腺癌。
- 戴奧辛對人體細胞毒性極高。不要將你的裝了水的塑膠瓶予以冷凍，因為如此則塑膠會釋出戴奧辛。
- 卡索醫院保健計畫的主持人藤本愛德華醫生，最近上電視解釋此項對健康之危害。 他談到了戴 奧辛，以及其為何對我們有危害。
- 他說我們不應該，以塑膠容器裝食物，用微波爐來加熱。此法則也適用於含脂肪的食物，他說脂肪、高熱與塑膠之綜合，會釋出戴奧辛進入食物中，最後則進入人體細胞內。
- 他建議給食物加熱時 ，要用玻璃、康寧鍋或陶瓷容器來裝。你得到的結果是一樣的，只是沒了戴奧辛。所以 類似電視速食餐、生力麵、速食湯等，需將內容物取出，放入其它容器，再行加熱。紙器並不壞，但是你也不知道，其中含有什麼。使用處理過的玻璃、康寧鍋等，還是安全一些。
- 他提醒我們，不久前速食快餐店，停用塑料發泡容器改用紙器。戴奧辛問題，即為其中原因之一。
- 此外，他指出塑膠膜若包裹食物放入微波爐中烹煮，也是同業的危害。由於食物是裸露的，高熱會讓有毒性的戴奧辛，自塑料包裹膜中熔出，而滴入食物。代用法是用紙巾覆蓋食物。

傳言是約翰霍浦金斯醫院發佈的有關微波爐使同引致癌症的訊息其實是不正確的
Dr. Rolf Halden of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health advises:
In general, whenever you heat something you increase the likelihood of pulling chemicals out. Chemicals can be released from plastic packaging materials like the kinds used in some microwave meals. If you are cooking with plastics or using plastic utensils, the best thing to do is to follow the directions and only use plastics that are specifically meant for cooking. Inert containers are best, for example heat-resistant glass, ceramics and good old stainless steel.
As for concerns about dioxins being released by freezing water in plastic bottles, Dr. Halden says:
This is an urban legend. There are no dioxins in plastics. In addition, freezing actually works against the release of chemicals. Chemicals do not diffuse as readily in cold temperatures, which would limit chemical release if there were dioxins in plastic, and we don't think there are.
