Whoa!!!!! Now THAT WAS food for thought!!! Thanks for posting this... I have heard bad things about microwaves, but never the entire break-down like you have here... Wow, thanks!!! Smiler

The article is a collection of assertions that apply to ANY cooking of food.

THE HUMAN ANIMAL LEARNED TO EAT A FEW MILLION YEARS BEFORE IT LEARNED TO COOK.

ALL COOKED FOOD IS MOLECULARLY ALTERD, THAT IS WHY ID DON'T TASTE THE SAME AS RAW.

Microwave ovens provide only one hazard, they must be kept scrupulously clean because they do not heat very thin nutrient layers.

A microwave should be cleaned daily with a vinegar solution, and dried with an antibiotic wipe.
Yes, yes, the microwave has been around about 40 years and the average life span has dropped like a rock -- to what about 33 years. And don't forget the government warning that traveling over 15 mph in a train will suck the air from your lungs. Just ignore the empirical evidence, if it doesn't agree with your world view.

Humans discovered howbto make fire no more than 100,000 to 150,000 years ago, so forget the millions of years.
This article was attributed to two guys working for the The Christian Law Institute & Fellowship Assembly. If you google the name you will find it has ceased to exist and it's website is no longer functional. Could it be that they got blasted for putting out half truths? What scares me is the site that the link is to would put it up as gospel without further verification. Maybe they too need to hire a "fact checker" like Bill O'Reily does.

Actually they still do. People just don't listen or believe that burning food chemically alters the makeup of it. Like smokers don't believe cigarettes cause cancer. It's the rebellious nature in people. Tell some people something is bad for them and they'll go right out and do it. My dad was like that. He was in bad health for 10 years before he died at age 67.

At least over the side of the head they use their blue tooth or cell phone on.
Or they should consider that the major hazard of microwaves is the interference with AM radio they cause.
Or do they.
I loved the line in the article, "disrupt the molecular structue of foods." Digestion disrupts the molecular structure of foods.

Never use a microwave in the bathetub.

Ain't that the truth!!! My Dad is nearly 80, smokes as much as he can get away with (without us fussing, lol) and he has smoked for nearly 70 years.. His health problems that threaten his life is just old age.... and all the things that go with it.

I think his BIGGEST health problem is driving... Just don't know HOW to take his keys away... Frowner
What many of you are saying is true about cooking altering food. I think that the point they were making is that the microwave process alters the good in a way far more dangerous than normal cooking. However, having said that, I would point out that the highest risk preparation process that is acknowledged by all test labs is the barbeque. When you burn the meat black, that blackened portion is contrary to your body in every respect. And to respect the comment of the person relating that my footnoted URL may be in error...http://blpublications.com/html/body_microwaveovens_.html and I further offer that you can confirm the legal battles over this with the Swiss government for 30 years at... http://www.cam.net.uk/home/aaa315/healing/microwaves.htm

I was NOT advising people to not use their microwave ovens. And the fact is, that most everything we use or eat in this day and age is killing us, the least of which is oxygen itself, which we know now is the key to radical cell behavior, i.e. aging and dying!

However, as I opened my statement initially, this was food for thought...not an invitation to a sparring match and less for insulting remarks. Forum are for people to intelligently discuss new subjects and debate various points of view. I can take insults better than most, but I might point out to some of you who are prone to this sort of behavior...that when you illustrate silly and insulting behavior and use insulting and degravating remarks, you don't make points. You only serve to point out that you only means of attempting to convince someone else of your point is sarcasm and childish behavior. And if to the contrary, and if you do not have an open mind willing to listen, then why waste your time or someone else's even writing in a forum, as the objective is new ideas, free speech and helping others as well as yourself. But if you do not have an open mind or you are prone to near bipolar behavior; you really only let other people know that you have a different agenda and are sub-standard.

the risk is that when a microwave heats food a portion of the food vaporizes and deposits on the surface of the oven. Since the oven is not heated, only the food, any bacteria that are able to live on the deposited material can thrive, and multiply. The microwave does not heat EXTREMELY thin layers or small objects. The Bacteria on the surfaces of the microwave may cause illness. GENERALLY, vinegar leaves a sterile surface, and it will sanitize the oven without contaminating any contents.
I recommended vinegar, because it is effective, inexpensive, non toxic and leaves a sterile deposit. Is it vital? No. The odds are very high that the air in the kitchen has more bacteria than the air in the oven.
Alphonse The reason you can't find anything else on the internet is because the article is hopelessly flawed. It takes a fact, Microwave cooking alters the molecular structure of food, and uses it to say the food is made un nutritious. Fact: all forms of cooking alter the molecular structure of food. Fact: the molecular structure of food is what gives it nutritional value. Fact: some foods, wheat, potato, rice, and beans, are made more nutritional by cooking, and in some instances edible. Fact: Homo Sapiens evolved before homo sapiens could cook food. Fact: Cooking improves food safety by killing possible toxic organisms.
But, in the face of all these facts, the article says microwave cooking is harmful. The mysteriousness of microwave cooking gives credibility to the statement, but the statement remains a falacy.
The Nazi reference is ONLY to add to the fear of the microwave.
