Guest guest Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 I got rid of my microwave, and I don't miss it. All those things I heard, I ignored for a long time, but when I finally looked it up -- apparently the extreme agitation of the food molecules (from microwave bombardment) changes a lot of it into pretty much non-food.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Do you have a crockpot? Throw your ingredients in Saturday night then on Sunday you can use several small tupperware containers to put your bistro in then freeze them. Our family uses them up in a week but if you live alone it could last 2 weeks. The second weekend you can make a different recipe to mix it up a bit. It is best to reheat in a small caserole dish using a convection oven for speed, but if a microwave is all you have access to make sure your food is covered good. We got a convection oven from craigslist.com for 15.00 or you can try using freecycle in your area the same way. A new one will run you between 200 - $400 pending size and brand.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Claiming the safety of microwave ovens runs contrary to published research going back decades. Fact: The USSR banned the microwave oven in 1976 due to the harmful effects the AC waves have on amino acids and issued an international health warning of the health hazards of AC microwaves on food. Fact: A 1989 issue of the Lancet (one of the most respected peer-review journals in Western Medicine) stated that baby milk should never be microwaved because a key amino acid becomes neuro toxic and kidney toxic in the process. Fact: The Nazi's, who invented the microwave oven to heat troop meals, ended up not using it after their own medical research called into the question the effects of the AC waves on water, sugar, fat and amino acid molecules. Fact: A US hospital lost a suit in 1991 after a nurse heated a unit of blood in the microwave. The microwaves completely killed the blood and formed toxic products which led to the death of the patient. Fact: Other published research has shown that most antioxidants are oxidized by the microwave activity eliminating much of the <http://www.google.com/search?hl=en & safe=off & rls=SNYF,SNYF:2004-47,SNYF:en & s a=X & oi=spell & resnum=0 & ct=result & cd=1 & q=nutritive+ & spell=1> nutritive value of the food. Fact: A Swiss clinical study showed a relationship between the ingestion of common microwaved foods and almost immediate signs of leukocytosis in the blood. So these aren't my two cents: this is a presentation of just a fraction of the available research findings published on the non-safe nature of the microwave oven. I have a background in engineering and was very skeptical when I first heard some of these claims. But I read the research, the method of the study, and compared it my own knowledge of electronics, and physics and threw out my own microwave in the end. -Dave _____ Dave Saunders, NC, DNEH Certified Nutritional Educator and Wellness Coach, ANA Member of the American International Association of Nutritional Education (AIANE) _____ On Behalf Of GURKIRPAL SINGH Saturday, November 25, 2006 5:24 PM Re: Re: microwave worries me If I can put my twocents in here .

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 A microwave, in case you don't know is a product of our world war II was machine. It is a derivative of RADAR, the process by which it heats is the extreme vibration of the molecules of the substance put within its focal pattern. There is a suggestion that the food stuffs or liquid is irradiated. This is true, it tends to kill or neutralize any value in the substances it cooks. However! you must also realize that cooking a substance, has the same process as microwaving only at a much slower rate. This is why you are told to boil water before consuming it, if you have doubts about the purity of it. Fire, unlike Radiation is the same process as rusting but at a much accelerated rate. Any good nutritionist worth there salt (HaaaHaaa) will tell you that to eat raw is extremely preferable rather than destroying that which the food substance contains which is the vitamins and minerals the human body so desperately need in this extremely contaminated modern world. To sum the situation up, unless you are in a hurry, don't micro, and try not to cook. Meat is basically your only worry when it comes to consumption. all else can be eaten raw. Ronald L.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 The body won't consider it food anymore. It's void of nutrients and enzymes. The molecules rub together which is what creates heat. This action warps the molecules and turns it into a something I would call plastic but this is just my very unscientific term! If you're short on time, throw the microwave out and get a blender. Through in some fruits and greens and you will have a filling meal in about 5 minutes and you will have lots of energy! Microwave ovens can leak in some cases and radiation can escape. I find them rather scary myself!

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Perhaps for the people on the list that believe that good energy is the only piece to the puzzle, there's a way to look at microwave radiation which might make more sense. The waveforms produced by alternating current do not occur in nature. In the electronics industry, top engineers will typically specialize in AC or DC electronics, because the two are so different that it can lead to expensive mistakes when someone tries to cross-over between the two. The microwaves generated by a microwave oven are violent in ways that are very difficult to describe. It is that violence that can convert a molecule to its isomer, oxidize an antioxidant and rattle apart a vitamin. So if you think that a happy thought can reconvert your microwaved food into something pure and healthy, try to appreciate exactly how much chaos and violence it has gone though after a single minute of exposure. The energy sensitives I work with won't even go near a dish that has been in the microwave. I'm not saying that such energy can't be rebalanced, but Qigong teaches that energy goes by the same principal of balance as any physical object in the Newtonian model of the universe. Your microwaved dish is going to need a lot more than a smile to restore the balance of its Qi. -Dave _____ Dave Saunders, NC, DNEH Certified Nutritional Educator and Wellness Coach, ANA Member of the American International Association of Nutritional Education (AIANE) _____ On Behalf Of Sharon Monday, November 27, 2006 11:57 AM Re: microwave worries me The body won't consider it food anymore.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 ---THE HIDDEN HAZARDS OF MICROWAVE COOKING For research purposes only from the Orion project which is set up in a very unique way in that the Orion project is an information sharing resource funded privately, which sells nothing and is there for the sharing of information which is of huge value. This is a totally different set up from being prescribed just drugs where there are huge profits to be made often at the expense of the patients well being even sometimes misery. The following information is copied from a recent article. 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. The purpose of this report is to show proof - evidence - that microwave cooking is not natural, nor healthy, and is far more dangerous to the human body than anyone could imagine. However, the microwave oven manufacturers, Washington City politics, and plain old human nature are suppressing the facts and evidence. Because of this, people are continuing to microwave their food - in blissful ignorance - without knowing the effects and danger of doing so. How do microwave ovens work? Microwaves are a form of electromagnetic energy, like light waves or radio waves, and occupy a part of the electromagnetic spectrum of power, or energy. Microwaves are very short waves of electromagnetic energy that travel at the speed of light (186,282 miles per second). In our modern technological age, microwaves are used to relay long distance telephone signals, television programs, and computer information across the earth or to a satellite in space. But the microwave is most familiar to us as an energy source for cooking food. This microwave radiation interacts with the molecules in food. All wave energy changes polarity from positive to negative with each cycle of the wave. In microwaves, these polarity changes happen millions of times every second. Food molecules - especially the molecules of water - have a positive and negative end in the same way a magnet has a north and a south polarity. In commercial models, the oven has a power input of about 1000 watts of alternating current. As these microwaves generated from the magnetron bombard the food, they cause the polar molecules to rotate at the same frequency millions of times a second. All this agitation creates molecular friction, which heats up the food. The friction also causes substantial damage to the surrounding molecules, often tearing them apart or forcefully deforming them. The scientific name for this deformation is " structural isomerism " . By comparison, microwaves from the sun are based on principles of pulsed direct current (DC) that don't create frictional heat; microwave ovens use alternating current (AC) creating frictional heat. A microwave oven produces a spiked wavelength of energy with all the power going into only one narrow frequency of the energy spectrum. Energy from the sun operates in a wide frequency spectrum. Radiation, as defined by physics terminology, is " the electromagnetic waves emitted by the atoms In simpler terms, a microwave oven decays and changes the molecular structure of the food by the process of radiation. Had the manufacturers accurately called them " radiation ovens " , it's doubtful they would have ever sold one, but that's exactly what a microwave oven is. We've all been told that microwaving food is not the same as irradiating it (radiation " treatment " ). The two processes are supposed to use completely different waves of energy and at different intensities. No FDA or officially released government studies have proven current microwaving usage to be harmful, but we all know that the validity of studies can be - and are sometimes deliberately - limiting. Many of these studies are later proven to be inaccurate. Many of us come from a generation where mothers and grandmothers have distrusted the modern " inside out " cooking they claimed was " not suitable " for most foods. My mother refused to even try baking anything in a microwave. She also didn't like the way a cup of coffee tasted when heated in a microwave oven. I have to Microwaves unsafe for baby's milk A number of warnings have been made public, but have been barely noticed. For example, Young Families, the Minnesota Extension Service of the University of Minnesota, published the following in 1989: " 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. " Dr. Lita Lee of Hawaii reported in the December 9, 1989 Lancet: " 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. Further, one of the amino acids, L-proline, was converted to its d-isomer, which is known to be neurotoxic (poisonous to the nervous system) and nephrotoxic (poisonous to the kidneys). It's bad enough that many babies are not nursed, but now they are given fake milk (baby formula) made even more toxic via microwaving. " Microwaved blood kills patient In 1991, there was a lawsuit 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. In the case of Mrs. Levitt, the microwaving altered the blood and it killed her. It's very obvious that this form of microwave radiation " heating " does something to the substances it heats. It's also becoming quite apparent that people who process food in a microwave oven are also ingesting these " unknowns " . Scientific evidence and facts Production of unnatural molecules is inevitable. Naturally occurring amino acids have been observed to undergo isomeric changes (changes in shape morphing) as well as transformation into toxic forms, under the impact of microwaves produced in ovens. One short-term study found significant and disturbing changes in the blood of individuals consuming microwaved milk and vegetables. Eight volunteers ate various combinations of the same foods cooked different ways. All foods that were processed through the microwave ovens caused changes in the blood of the volunteers. Hemoglobin levels decreased and over all white cell levels and cholesterol levels increased. Lymphocytes decreased. Luminescent (light-emitting) bacteria were employed to detect energetic changes in the blood. Significant increases were found in the luminescence of these bacteria when exposed to blood serum obtained after the consumption of microwaved food. " The Swiss clinical study Dr. Hans Ulrich Hertel, who is now retired, worked as a food scientist for many years with one of the major Swiss food companies that do business on a global scale. A few years ago, he was fired from his job for questioning certain processing procedures that denatured the food. In 1991, he and a Lausanne University professor published a research paper indicating that food cooked in microwave ovens could pose a greater risk to health than food cooked by conventional means. An article also appeared in issue 19 of the Journal Franz Weber in which it was stated that the consumption of food cooked in microwave ovens had cancerous effects on the blood. The research paper itself followed the article. On the cover of the magazine there was a picture of the Grim Reaper holding a microwave oven in one of his hands. Dr. Hertel was the first scientist to conceive and carry out a quality clinical study on the effects microwaved nutrients have on the blood and physiology of the human body. His small but well controlled study showed the degenerative force produced in microwave ovens and the food processed in them. The scientific conclusion showed that microwave cooking changed the nutrients in the food; and, changes took place in the participants' blood that could cause deterioration in the human system. Hertel's scientific study was done along with Dr. Bernard H. Blanc of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology and the University Institute for Biochemistry. " Leukocytosis, which cannot be accounted for by normal daily deviations, is taken very seriously by hemotologists. Leukocytes are often signs of pathogenic effects on the living system, such as poisoning and cell damage. The increase of leukocytes with the microwaved foods were more pronounced than with all the other variants. It appears that these marked increases were caused entirely by ingesting the microwaved substances. This process is based on physical principles and has already been confirmed in the literature. The apparent additional energy exhibited by the luminescent bacteria was merely an extra confirmation. There is extensive scientific literature concerning the hazardous effects of direct microwave radiation on living systems. It is astonishing, therefore, to realize how little effort has been taken to replace this detrimental technique of microwaves with technology more in accordance with nature. Technically produced microwaves are based on the principle of alternating current. Atoms, molecules, and cells hit by this hard electromagnetic radiation are forced to reverse polarity 1-100 billion times a second. There are no atoms, molecules or cells of any organic system able to withstand such a violent, destructive power for any extended period of time, not even in the low energy range of milliwatts. Of all the natural substances - which are polar - the oxygen of water molecules reacts most sensitively. This is how microwave cooking heat is generated - friction from this violence in water molecules. Structures of molecules are torn apart, molecules are forcefully deformed, called structural isomerism, and thus become impaired in quality. This is contrary to conventional heating of food where heat transfers convectionally from without to within. Cooking by microwaves begins within the cells and molecules where water is present and where the energy is transformed into frictional heat. As soon as Doctors Hertel and Blanc published their results, the authorities reacted. A powerful trade organization, the Swiss Association of Dealers for Electro-apparatuses for Households and Industry, known as FEA, struck swiftly in 1992. They forced the President of the Court of Seftigen, Canton of Bern, to issue a " gag order " against Drs. Hertel and Blanc. In March 1993, Dr. Hertel was convicted for " interfering with commerce " and prohibited from further publishing his results. However, Dr. Hertel stood his ground and fought this decision over the years. Not long ago, this decision was reversed in a judgment delivered in Strasbourg, Austria, on August 25, 1998. The European Court of Human Rights held that there had been a violation of Hertel's rights in the 1993 decision. The European Court of Human Rights also ruled that the " gag order " issued by the Swiss court in 1992 against Dr. Hertel, prohibiting him from declaring that microwave ovens are dangerous to human health, was contrary to the right to freedom of expression. In addition, Switzerland was ordered to pay Dr. Hertel compensation. Who invented microwave ovens? Carcinogens in microwaved food In Dr. Lita Lee's book, Health Effects of Microwave Radiation - Microwave Ovens, and in the March and September 1991 issues of Earthletter, she stated that every microwave oven leaks electro- magnetic radiation, harms food, and converts substances cooked in it to dangerous organ-toxic and carcinogenic products. Further research summarized in this article reveal that microwave ovens are far more harmful than previously imagined. From the conclusions of the Swiss, Russian and German scientific clinical studies, we can no longer ignore the microwave oven sitting in our kitchens. Based on this research, we will conclude this article with the following: 1). Continually eating food processed from a microwave oven causes long term - permanent - brain damage by " shorting out " electrical impulses in the brain [de-polarizing or de-magnetizing the brain tissue]. 2). The human body cannot metabolize [break down] the unknown by- products created in microwaved food. 3). Male and female hormone production is shut down and/or altered by continually eating microwaved foods. 4). The effects of microwaved food by-products are residual [long term, permanent] within the human body. 5). Minerals, vitamins, and nutrients of all microwaved food is reduced or altered so that the human body gets little or no benefit, or the human body absorbs altered compounds that cannot be broken down. 6). The minerals in vegetables are altered into cancerous free radicals when cooked in microwave ovens. 7). Microwaved foods cause stomach and intestinal cancerous growths [tumors]. This may explain the rapidly increased rate of colon cancer in America. 8). The prolonged eating of microwaved foods causes cancerous cells to increase in human blood. 9). Continual ingestion of microwaved food causes immune system deficiencies through lymph gland and blood serum alterations. 10). Eating microwaved food causes loss of memory, concentration, emotional instability, and a decrease of intelligence. Have you tossed out your microwave oven yet?

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Mercola.com has info on microwave cooking too. He also recommends a cooking device that cooks food in shorter time than conventional but longer than microwaving. Preserves the integrity and nutritional value of the food.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 The site you gave us is a wonderful site. Everyone should take a peek. I drive home late some nights and I came across this on a radio call in show believe it or not and really enjoyed looking it over. It should be in everyones favourites. I love the sites that people share on here. Can't get enough of them. Always good to know when we need to research to know someone sent a reliable site. Always ~ Kim > > start by looking on the site www.ewg.org they are pretty insightful > on this type of stuff. i know i've never intuitively felt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
