Microwaves heat your food via radiation by causing it to resonate at very
high frequencies. Even though microwaves can effectively heat your food, it also
causes a change in the chemical structure of the food that can lead to
health problems.
When you heat food with
microwaves you create a negative effect that can devitalize your food. Lately in the news, research by scientists and doctors has shown that:
-
When
microwaving, carcinogenic toxins could be leached from your plastic and
other plates or covers and mix with your food.
- The
temperature of microwaved food can become extremely hot, at
temperatures high enough to cause burns or steam buildup that could
explode -- this is especially risky with baby bottles.
- Microwaving can break down the essential disease-fighting ability of
breast milk to protect your baby.
- A study published in the November 2003 issue of The Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture found that
broccoli "zapped" in the microwave with a little water lost up to 97
percent of the beneficial antioxidant chemicals
it contains. By comparison, steamed broccoli lost 11 percent or fewer of its antioxidants.
- A
1991 lawsuit involving a woman who had hip surgery and died because the
blood used in her blood transfusion was warmed in a microwave. Blood is
routinely warmed before transfusions, but not by microwave. The
microwave altered the blood and it killed the woman.
Why use fast food restaurant microwave cooking methods if
