We've covered this before, but new studies have come forward, and a few more

physicians are admitting that food cooked in a microwave should not be

eaten.

I was once asked, " How come no one (but you) knows these things?

The truth about microwaves (and modern medicine) is not very profitable.

America's bottom line is profit. Is it profitable to attack microwave ovens?

Well, we're here to give the truth for free (since we're all volunteers

here) and to help you change your lives for the better. Our friends at Health

Science Institute wrote a quick little article that we are reprinting here and

the only changes are the links to the sites on the web where you can read

about the actual studies/papers.

Dr Allan Spreen MD gives us the following (the links are placed by us):

There are very few studies on microwave cooking and food quality. There's a

reason for that, which I'll get to in a second. What studies exist are all

bad news for microwaving - they universally describe some type of damage. One

study showed breakdown of vitamin B-12 to inactive degradation products in

microwaved foods. The magazine " Health & Healing Wisdom " reports that _Russian

research concerning neurological effects _

(http://www.createyourhealthyhome.com/microwave-ovens.htm) of altered magnetic

states of microwaved foods caused

the Russian government to outlaw all food microwave apparatus in 1976 (I

don't know if that ban still exists). Another study showed depletion of

antibodies and breakdown of enzymes when breast milk is microwaved.

There's also a problem with release of potentially toxic molecules into the

food from packaging designed to help brown food during microwaving. This

includes items such as pizza, French fries, waffles, popcorn and breaded fish -

and these findings were determined by the FDA!

The most controlled (and scary) research was almost stopped from anyone

knowing about it before being published. _Two Swiss researchers sequestered

subjects under close scrutiny and blood tested them after randomly eating food

that

was either microwaved or conventionally cooked._

(http://www.all-natural.com/microwa1.html) They found all sorts of potentially

nasty stuff: (1) blood

hemoglobin levels decreased significantly after ingesting microwaved foods,

both total levels and the amount contained in each red blood cell; (2) White

blood cell levels tended to increase for no other reason than foods were

microwaved; (3) microwaves altered protein molecules; (4) LDL cholesterol (the

'bad' type) increased relative to HDL cholesterol (the 'good' type).

The problem was, they were immediately sued by the " Swiss Association of

Dealers for Electroapparatuses for Households and Industry, " and one of the

authors was convicted by the Swiss Federal Court of " interfering with

commerce. "

The fine was the equivalent of $65,000. So, the message is you think twice

before stepping on too many big-money toes.

However you slice it, there appears to be a problem with those high

frequency, alternating current (meaning abnormal for the human system)

electromagnetic waves...but it's sure an easy way to fix popcorn!

Good Health,

Allan Spreen, M.D.

 

A simple formula for you: Your time on earth is directly proportionate to

the amount of time you spend in the kitchen, and inversely proportionate to the

number of hands that have touched your food. That is, unless you get run

over by a beer truck. Then all bets are off.

Is our Government Really Interested in Cutting Health Care Costs?

Then how about this suggestion: outlaw microwave ovens.

This could save anywhere from 100 - 500 million bucks a year.
