Microwave cooking is a simple convenient cooking option for everyone including me ! Over 90% of American homes has been pre-installed with Microwave ovens because of it's energy efficiency as compared to the conventional oven.
Microwaves are very short waves of electromagnetic energy that travel at the speed of light. In microwave, polarity changes happens millions of times every second. Food molecules especially water molecules have a positive and a negative end, so the frequency of agitation creates molecular friction which heats up the food and also causes substantial damage to the surrounding molecules.
Study conducted by Swiss scientist Dr Hans Hertel explored this bitter truth about the effects of this microwave food. Individual who consumed this food experience a decrease in HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol), reduced RBC and WBC.
In 1991, there was a law suit in Oklahoma concerning the hospital use of a microwave oven to warm blood needed in a transfusion. The case involved a hip surgery patient, Norma Levitt, who died from a simple blood transfusion. It seems the nurse had warmed the blood in a microwave oven. This tragedy makes it very apparent that there's much more to heating with microwaves than we've been led to believe. Blood for transfusions is routinely warmed, but not in microwave ovens.
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 baby bottle, could cause it to explode.
Microwaving baby formulas converted certain trans-amino acids into their synthetic cis-isomers, Synthetic isomers, whether cis-amino acids or trans-fatty acids are not biologically active.
Soviet Union did ban the use of microwave ovens in 1976. The microwave oven manufacturers, Washington City politics, and plain old human nature are suppressing the facts and evidence.
Today we should not be surprised by these dangers at all. Instead of Microwaving, we should stick to raw food or steaming and baking as main primary methods or tradional cooking methods.
