Does freezing food in plastic containers cause cancer?
Does freezing food in plastic containers cause cancer?
We are told that microwaving food in plastic containers releases Dioxins in the plastic that mixes with the food and may cause cancer when this food is eaten. Also, if you freeze water in your plastic water bottle you may release Dioxins from the plastic into the water. Placing plastic wrap over food you microwave may also release toxins from the plastic wrap. If the above statements are true, will freezing food in plastic containers release the toxins? plastic bottles |

Cigarette smoke is addition antecedent of these compounds.

As with most things in this era,there is an element of truth in your suppositions. It has been suggested dioxins may be released when plastic is nuked.However there are no ongoing studies,of which I am aware, that directly link the incidence of cancer to their usage.It reminds me of the the time years ago when it was suggested that the "new" sugar substitute caused cancer in mice.When the methodology was closely examined it was ascertained that force feeding mice thousands of times the amount humans would ingest over their lifetime in one week was not sound science.Plastic used in the manner for which it was intended will not ruin your ice cubes nor harm your nuked soup.Freeze away!

No, it is rarely just one thing that causes cancer... take a look at the air you breathe, the water you drink, and the food you eat.
