 k9riley99 says: If the marketing world would have named these ovens Radiation Ovens instead of Microwave Ovens would I have one in my kitchen right now? When I moved into my new place i left the microwave oven with my ex and honestly I don't miss it. I've worked my way around using it and I have decided that I wont get another one. Interesting first clip. oh my ... i don't have a fighting chance i started noticing a strange difference between how i feel when i eat microwaved left overs and microwaved foods for a day, and the next day just cook them or warm them up in the oven. my friends have told me i am crazy. but i dont think so anymore after reading this. This is the biggest pile I've seen all week. How is ANY of this substantiated? Is there any proof? Where does all of this dubious stuff come from? Some of these assertions are questionable even to the layperson, and some of the assertions are just plain impossible - for instance the claim that microwaves diminish the mineral content of food. Heat can indeed destroy certain vitamins, but microwaving is actually probably going to diminish the vitamin content of food less than conventional cooking as the food is not heated as long. As far as destroying minerals, this is impossible. Iron, for instance. This is an element (which is also an important nutrient). I'd love to hear how it's possible t... "If the marketing world would have named these ovens Radiation Ovens instead of Microwave Ovens would I have one in my kitchen right now?" Conventional ovens emit far more thermal radiation than microwaves. Everyone panic!!!! //everything I need to know I learned in junior high school science class Oh, give me a break with this crap. One very important tidbit that this research failed to mention was how long does a person have to eat microwaved food before these side effects occur. Are they talking years, months, etc? complete and utter BS! 11) "The Man" is using microwaves to induce behavior altering radiation throughout your home. Ever wonder why after you eat a microwave dinner, you suddenly find yourself wanting to call the IRS and come clean about all the "deductions" on your last return? It's a proven fact people! Wake up!!!!! Apart from all this, I have never seen the point of Microwave Ovens. The time saving on most things is negligible, and with those things where there is a big difference the results are unacceptable. Ever have microwaved Thanksgiving turkey? Inedible. Yep I call BS on this clip. It sounds like the anti-cellphone hype of the 90's which has all been debunked. Godfrey - You cant see the time savings of microwaves? Want a cup of tea? you can wait ten to minutes and use a pot on the stove and a cup to drink from, or just throw a mug into the microwave for two minutes... Your choice. one more item... every cheeseburger from every Burger King is microwaved to melt the cheese, and has been since the 80's when I worked at one. That means everyone that eats at BK is brain damaged already. Oh sheesh! I resisted getting one for years because I thought it was all a little too science fictionish. But I must admit the ease and speed have certainly made our microwave something we use all the time. Plus there's usually less dishes afterwards. Popcorn. soup, heating up that leftover stew. Damn! I wish I had been born during the times of "Little House on the Prairie" so I didn't have to deal with worries like this. Pesticides, atificial hormones in plastic food wrappings and so on... but then I suppose I'd just have Mrs Oleson to deal with instead. Tough choice! Oh, the anguish of it all... I don't think there is a grain of truth in any of these statements. Can you post a link to the scientific studies? This is somebody's first clip......poor k9riley99 Sorry!!  Can't you see who is behind all this?!?!?! Well, at least the information is out there now. You can choose to ignore the facts if you want. "The Man" is microwaving your family. What man? I do the microwaving, "The Man" just sleeps on the couch and waits for dinner to be served. I'm the one doing the zapping, if anyone  Of course you believe that... you've been subjected to the behavior modifying radiation for years! Someone's on to me. Better turn up the wattage on their microwaves. Is that I'm fluorescent when I turn the light off?? I though it was because of my new and improved forest scented bubble bath soap! Oh no, please tell me you didn't buy the bubble bath! That's one of "the man's" oldest tricks!!! I could write an entire thesis about the sensory deprivation experiments conducted by "the man" on millions of unsuspecting bathers. But I do feel a little tired... I need to go microwave some cocoa and lighten up the place again! Sometimes, I don't know why I even bother... No bubbles? Never? Never ever? No! No! Oh no you can't take that away from meeeeeee! <hearing that old song in my head> It's a small price to pay for your free will. Sorry, I didn't get that, could you repeat that please? The cocoa's beginning to zap my brain with those evil ionized molecules and stuff... It appears that I am too late. We'll pray for your offspring. i am to late also i have been using a microwave for a very long time...but i eat food from the stove not so much from a microwave. please see the following: http://www.i-amperfectlyhealthy.com/simoncohen.html then select Microwaving from left hand column Read the Ten Reasons to Throw Out Your Microwave Oven also look at the Microwaved water KILLS PLANTS but especially go further and read at the end of the page, click on More Info.... and read all the actual studies done by scientific people regarding what Microwaves do, who made them, how they breakdown the molecular structure, etc. Believe me guys, I wouldn't know how to exist without my microwave; it has made my life so much easier but I was looking up info for a friend of mine for juicing to detoxify the body and found this article and thought maybe it was 'f... ...everyone that eats at BK is brain damaged already. Well, that's certainly irrefutable, and nothing to do with microwaves. Especially if they've permitted that godawful mystery substance euphemistically referred to here as "cheese" to be added to what is likewise amusingly referred to as a hamburger. If one is willing to ingest anything, then the method of cooking, whether nuked, fried on an Arizona sidewalk, or tucked in next to the manifold for the drive home, seems in consequential. I'm pretty sure that I'm remembering correctly that Ayurvedic adherents are stongly opposed to microwaving, although the cubicle bound Indians that I know don't appear to give a hoot. It's all a big conspiracy. "Big Corn" wants you to buy microwaves so you can keep buying microwave popcorn. Duh. Your first clip sure generated a lot of traffic. Let me reiterate, good first clip! @k9riley99 Enjoy that cup of freshly brewed Cocoa from your microwaveHumour is just my way of dealing with things, sorry if that wasn't apparent., but once you get to know me then...  This clip truly has got me wondering about the safety of using that zap machine. I'm going to check out your link as soon as I have time too. Plus, I'm going to try the test of watering some weeds with microwaved water. If they start showing any signs of not thriving AT ALL, then that zap machine is outta here, I promise you!! No joking on that fact, that's for sure! Thanks for the fab clip k9riley99!  @thegreenman It sounds like the anti-cellphone hype of the 90's which has all been debunked.I too was relieved when I read the Danish study debunking that cellphones are dangerous. But I've recently seen some more info out there, that's apparently debunking the debunking, so now I'm up in the air on this one again.... Who knows? Hmm...Nevertheless, I use my mobile as little as I can till something 'absolute', so to speak, is presented. I'm always of the thinking: "better safe than sorry". Gonna be microwaving a whole lot less, if at all too, just to be on the safe side. Some discussion of the real science of microwave cooking. As for cell phones, if you have the type that flips open (~100% of the ones you can buy now it seems) that provides enough shielding to prevent damage (if there is any). If the marketing world would have named these ovens Radiation OvensAlong the lines of "Would you buy a product irrefutably documented to have killed approx. 42,850 people in a single year?" Ford, GM, Damiler-Chrysler, Honda, Toyota, et.al. hope so. Some discussion of the real science of microwave cooking. kmcolo Your thought process of the 'real science' of microwave cooking and the thought process of the scientific results and studies done by various countries throughout the world seem to differ greatly. I highly suggest that you read the actual study done by various doctors throughout the world and why some countries have banned the use of microwave ovens. please see the following: http://www.i-amperfectlyhealthy.com/simoncohen.html then select Microwaving from left hand column, click on More Info... towards the bottom of the page and read the "consumption of food....." please read the 'Swiss Clinical Study,' and then let us al... This site sells products. I get a ton of catalogs every year trying to sell me something like this. I went to the site and followed link to pdf file and scanned the report. It's long. If all this is true, we are doomed. I only use mine to heat leftovers. Thawed a roast once. Yuck. It took a week to get the smell of raw meat out of my house. microwave cooking is a danger two your health, but then so is getting out of bed each day The referenced Swiss study credits the invention of the microwave to Nazi research. Multiple sources on the Internet (These are interesting: Who Invented Microwaves? and The Twisted History of the Microwave Oven ) along with a personally viewed TV documentary indicate instead a Raytheon engineer by the name of Percy LeBaron Spencer working with the first magnatron tubes developed as a result of radar research. I have never seen any claim that radar was actually a Nazi invention. I still stand on the bogus side of fence for this clip. k9riley99, your commitment here seems a little greater than "you happened upon this finding while researching something else." I stand by everything I've written here and in the follow-up clip. The idea that microwave ovens damage food such that it is damaging to your health has no scientific basis. All it has is conspiracy theories. The man is reading this. I suggest you turn off your computers and move immediately. this is all BS. a microwave does not use "radiation," all it does is make water molecules move more quickly. the real problem with people isnt that we use microwaves, its that be believe everything we read. It uses "radiation" in the same way a light bulb does. It is electromagnetic radiation of a wavelength that excites the hydrogen bonds between water molecules. But it is not, as you imply, radiation that is often associated with nuclear material. oh my god i better get rid of my lightbulbs too *LOL* kmcolo; beg to differ with you; I have not implied anything all I did is present a clipmark for all of us to ponder or 'food for thought.' It is quite up to the consumer of this product as to whether or not they wish to continue microwaving their foods. "A basic hypothesis of natural medicine states that the introduction into the human body of molecules and energies, to which it is not accustomed, is much more likely to cause harm than good. Microwaved food contains both molecules and energies not present in food cooked in the way humans have been cooking food since the discovery of fire. Microwave energy from the sun and other stars is direct current based. Artificially produced... It is quite up to the consumer of this product as to whether or not they wish to continue microwaving their foods.Never said ti wasn't. Just said there is no scientific justification to do so. I'm sick of all these appliance parts. All those radiations are evil I tell you! I hate the fact that after I get my sandwich out of the microwave, the bread is so crusty that you can't eat it ! :| Wow you've gotten a lot of comments on your first clip. Something everyone can relate to. I always had a bad feeling about those zap machines. I try to use mine as little as possible. Food just taste A LOT better when you cook it properly, even if you just put something on a pan and heat it up. America is gettin' a little lazy I have to admit. I understand that people are trying to conserve time but if you're just hanging out at home, take that extra 10 min or so to cook your food properly --- it's worth it. mmmmm!! I'm all about yummy food! |
