Have any of you received this Email labeled “Dioxin Dangers - Microwaving and Freezing”? Kind of scary, it was sent to me via a nurse. Adding insult to injury, recently I had a disagreement over this topic with my wife along with a few coworkers as I am skeptical of its validity. So this Email last night was the final straw. Feeling pummeled in to a corner I did what I should have done long ago and went to my good friend Google. There armed with only the title of this email in hand I went on my search, and to my surprise I was able to find ample writing on the subject (FDA ,USDA,Plastics info.org). In fact most of the writing I found called the contents of this email an urban myth! So now the question is do I finally feel vindicated? Well mostly… turns out that nobody really has a strait answer on this subject. So in short it may be best said that it is prudent to first check and make sure the container you are sticking into the microwave is rated for that type of use no matter the material it is made of. Other wise your wife will continue to look at you smugly with that look that says you are nothing more than a stupid man, no wait scratch that there is no hope of that ever happening. Any how hope you found this info useful.
Darling not with out you, Artie Shaw

its really amazing how so many these are indeed "questionable" or just urban myth.
I have always heard (and believed) that plastic in the microwave was unhealthy.
i've believed that plastic was unhealthy in general for quite awhile now. i've also believed that microwaves are unhealthy for quite awhile now.
