I recieved an e-mail stating,John Hopkins news letter claiming : #1. No plastic containers in microwave. #2. No water bottles in freezer. #3. No plastic wrap inmicrowave.
Is this factual?

Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center
Office of Public Affairs
March 2007
EMAIL HOAX REGARDING CANCER
An email falsely attributed to Johns Hopkins describing properties of cancer cells and suggesting prevention strategies has begun circulating the Internet. Johns Hopkins did not publish the email, entitled "Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins," nor do we endorse its contents. For more information about cancer, please read the information on our web site or visit the National Cancer Institute's web site at www.cancer.gov.
Another hoax email that has been circulating since 2004 regarding plastic containers, bottles, wrap claiming that heat releases dioxins which cause cancer also was not published by Johns Hopkins. More information.
