"Heating
food in a microwave oven is very convenient but
recent studies have shown that it may not only
impact the nutrition of the food, it also may be
dangerous to those who eat the food."
"According
to an announcement about infant bottles from the
University of Minnesota in 1989 "Heating the
bottle in a microwave can cause slight changes in
the milk. In infant formulas, there may be a loss of
some vitamins."
"According
to research, cooking food in a microwave may alter
the physical makeup of the food. It is known that
the irradiation process breaks up the molecular
structure of food and creates a whole new set of
chemicals. These chemicals include benzene
[Definition: chemical used in making
insecticides and motor fuels], formaldehyde
[Definition: fluid used for preserving dead
bodies] and a host of known mutagens
[Definition: substances that increases the rate
of cell mutation] and carcinogens [Definition: cancer
causing substances]."
"A study
performed by Dr. Hans Hertel of Switzerland found
that food prepared in microwave ovens not only
altered the food, it also altered the blood
chemistry of those eating it."
"Microwaving
food in plastic containers runs the additional risk
of the food absorbing dangerous chemicals released
when the plastic is bombarded and heated by
radiation."
Dr. J. D.
Decuypere
This is worth thinking
about! Besides most microwavable foods are processed and
have a host of chemicals and substances other than
food.
