Dioxin Carcinogens causes cancer, especially breast cancer. Don't freeze your plastic water bottles with water as this also releases dioxin in the plastic.


Dioxin are bad and bad for you. You should be using glass when heating food in the microwave.


The combination of fat high heat and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body.


Dioxin are carcinogens and highly toxic to the cells of our bodies.I heard heating water in plastic in the microwave causes cancer. True or False?
SOME , not all, plastics will release carcinogens when heated. The key is to know whether or not the plastic you are using is ';microwave'; safe. If it doesn't say microwave safe on it somewhere, then it isn't.


carcinogens do cause cancer.
