Throw Out Your Microwave Oven


Is it possible that millions of people are ignorantly sacrificing their health in exchange for the convenience of microwave ovens? Why did the Soviet Union ban the use of microwave ovens in 1976? Who invented microwave ovens, and why? The answers to these questions may shock you into throwing your microwave oven in the trash.

Over 90% of American homes have microwave ovens used for meal preparation. Because microwave ovens are so convenient and energy efficient, as compared to conventional ovens, very few homes or restaurants are without them. In general, people believe that whatever a microwave oven does to foods cooked in it doesn't have any negative effect on either the food or them.

Of course, if microwave ovens were really harmful, our government would never allow them on the market, would they? Would they? Regardless of what has been "officially" released concerning microwave ovens, we have personally stopped using ours based on the research facts outlined in this article.

NEVER USE MICROWAVES TO HEAT BABY BOTTLES

"Although microwaves heat food quickly, they are not recommended for heating a baby's bottle. The bottle may seem cool to the touch, but the liquid inside may become extremely hot and could burn the baby's mouth and throat.

Also, the buildup of steam in a closed container, such as a baby bottle, could cause it to explode. Heating the bottle in a microwave can cause slight changes in the milk. In infant formulas, there may be a loss of some vitamins.

In expressed breast milk, some protective properties may be destroyed. Warming a bottle by holding it under tap water, or by setting it in a bowl of warm water, then testing it on your wrist before feeding may take a few minutes longer, but it is much safer."

"A basic hypothesis of natural medicine states that the introduction into the human body of molecules and energies, to which it is not accustomed, is much more likely to cause harm than good.

Microwaved food contains both molecules and energies not present in food cooked in the way humans have been cooking food since the discovery of fire. Microwave energy from the sun and other stars is direct current based.

Artificially produced microwaves, including those in ovens, are produced from alternating current and force a billion or more polarity reversals per second in every food molecule they hit.

I knew about the no baby bottles rule. But consider that I, at age 28, have NEVER lived in a home without a microwave (or a dishwasher for that matter).

I tried to talk hubby out of buying a microwave now that we're remodeling the kitchen and he looked at me like my head fell off.

I've heard about the danger associated with the microwave, but it is just so convenient. I only use it to heat food..... and even try to limit that.

I ran this past Hubby. Here's what he sent in response -

Denmark, you ignorant ...

Microwaves, whether natural or artificial, ARE "alternating current" signals in the 2 Gigahertz range.

That's 2 billion cycles/second whether they come from the sun or are artificial.

Yes, they heat differently than "blackbody" radiation. An electric or gas range throws a fairly even spectrum with a spike in the infrared basically at the AIR, bringing it up to 350 - 450 degrees and then the air heats the food.

A microwave oven throws a really narrow spectrum at the food - something like a laser - which agitates the bejesus out of water molecules and then the water molecules heat the rest of the food.

Of course there are some differences. When you take a turkey out of a convention oven it can still burn you, but it's throwing out blackbody radiation at 450 degrees or whatever you set it at.

You nuke something in the microwave and, for a couple of minutes or so, it's throwing out narrow-band 2 gigahertz radiation that actually, yes, might not feel hot to the touch on dry skin but could burn the hell out of your mouth or throat and THAT'S what causes cancer.

180 degree Mickey D's coffee could do the same thing.

Axinar ...

I don't see the discrepancy.
