Those Medical Alert Emails

I am sure that most everyone has gotten the emails about Dr. so and so reported that you should not do so and so, the latest one that I received was the one telling don't heat anything in plastic and don't freeze water in plastic bottles as they will release dioxins and cause cancer.

These Emails Are A Hoax!!!!!!


during elections you will get them about candidates, sometimes you will get them about gang initiations and don't blink your high beam while driving, there are thousands out there, they have been around for years and every few years the same ones pop up.

You can always go to Snopes.com and find out if it is true or not. But especially if you are taking medical advice of any kind, don't believe one source, one website, research it, find a reliable source and double check.
I would tell everyone to be wary, if you read something on a website , like this one, double check. Run a google search, see if the same information comes up from a reliable source.

If you have read many of my posts, you know that I have repeatedly said, don't believe everything that your own doctor says without doing your own research, let alone something a stranger on the internet says. The doctor has his wallet in mind and the stranger may just be spreading stuff to see how far it will spread.
