Cooking in microwave ovens: whether advisable?

[Guest guest]

Dear Dr.Acharya,

 

Sai Ram. I am aware of the controversies regarding the

subject and would like to respond.

 

What Dr. Shirish Bhate wrote and what the Indian

Express wrote are rather different topics though they

pertain to the same equipment, i.e. microwave oven.

 

I am sure you are aware of magnetised water, Reikied

water etc. Similarly microwaved water has some

different properties vis-a-vis the plant growth. For

all that we know, the bacteria present in the water

(in small quantities) may be helping the plant to grow

better! Ordinary boiling doesn't destroy the bacteria

fully as you are no doubt aware. Microwave boiling of

water may be more effective in killing bacteria.

 

If you can organise a small research, I would suggest

the following experiment:

 

Take a small area of land and divide it into four

quadrants. Separate the quadrants by some fairly deep

water tight partitions. Alternatively, you can take 4

pots of same size and shape with similar earth in

them.

 

Put some flower or vegetable seeds in each of the pot

and keep them in the same location so that they

recieve the same light, air etc.

 

To the first pot, add ordinary tap water, without

boiling.

 

To the second pot, add ordinary tap water, boiled

normally.

 

To the third pot, add ordinary tap water, boiled by

microwave.

 

To the fourth pot, add ordinary tap water, magnetised.

 

 

I am sure you will find differences between the growth

rates of the plants in all the pots.

 

Allopathic analysis of nutrients through chemical

analysis is not sufficient to bring out fine

differences in food. For example, curd, butter milk

and butter milk without the butter will have only

marginal differences in calorific value as per

allopathy, but will have significant differences in

their effect on the different Tatvas of a person. I

was told this by my ayurvedic doctor friends. I am not

an ayurvedic doctor.

 

With best wishes,

 

Swamy
