Microwave Food Bad And Dangerous For Health?

[DisWeDOoIT]

Who else searched this while waiting for their microwaved food to heat up?

[Evilcyber]

@DJSexLeopard Adolf Hitler was a vegetarian and loved dogs. Does that mean that vegetarians and dog lovers are Nazis?

[SpeckyNation]

@Evilcyber Yes

at 3:33 he lost me. I've never seen a microwave cook my food from the inside out.

[ducatidragon916]

I would like to know how it mutates the DNA as well!!!??? I have heard this and that is causes cancer and that the russians prevented their people forming owning and using them as well because that they knew the detrimental effects of cooking.. But where is the evidence!???

[sauroman1]

Only difference between microwave and stove is that in microwave oven food itself is heat source while stove source is fire. There is higher chance to get burned food from fire because temperature is spread unevenly.

But they are not ecological and economical.

[aprillindseymoon]

This guy obviously knows nothing about health. You should never use a microwave for reasons this person doesnt even touch.  Microwaving food denatures it and mutates the dna of your food cells. I suggest doing a lot more research than this if you're wondering if microwaves are safe or not. There is nothing safe whatsoever about using a microwave. They have been banned in other contries. They cause cancer. Do your homework.

[Evilcyber]

@aprillindseymoon It "mutates" the DNA? Why don't you explain how that happens?

[neurokrem1]

@aprillindseymoon Not true!

[vevenaneathna]

I started watching this with the opinion that it was just another piece of propaganda from the food nazis. But you pointed out some very good misconception and brought them to light.

Your explanation of how a microwave works is kinda brief and assumes a lot of things, but other then that, this is a thorough and informative.

Good job.

[yumyumsashimi]

he talks so funny drives me nuts...

[ANGELICW4R]

Thumbs up if you rubbed your hands

[estacey2004]

Well done. However, I've read you're better off not using plastic in the microwave at all. Read about BPA.

[Evilcyber]

@estacey2004 You are right, they are a bunch of open questions about BPA.

[RedTailedTuna]

I don't know why but I like this video

[Evilcyber]

@RedTailedTuna It's my charm ;)

[zuiprax]

Why does most food prepared or heated in a microwave taste so much worse than when prepared by any form of external heat?

When I microwave food, it comes out without much taste, as if the microwave somehow made the flavor go away.

[OMGITSDRJESUS]

@zuiprax Not really lol.. If anything it'll be a bit dry, but throw some water on it nd should be good.

[SlickShinobiDojo]

Watched while eating my microwaved soup :)

Nice video though, i'll try to cut down on the microwave stuff and go for the more

healthy options :)

[Evilcyber]

@SlickShinobiDojo Once in a while that could be a good idea. Makes that microwaved popcorn all the better ;)

[SuperSAmonkey]

You should meet my mother if you think that microwaves can't put a crust on food. She has had potatoes come out of the microwave literally in flames. 

[Evilcyber]

@SuperSAmonkey Many greetings to your Mom, maybe she achieved the impossible ;)

Seriously, it could be that she is using a microwave / grill combo.

[SeriouslyPissedOff]

Awesome video, I learned a lot as I always do from your videos

thanks EvilCyber!

[Evilcyber]

@SeriouslyPissedOff Cool to hear that! :)

[0wenSlattery]

Informative video. I always thought that food cooking from the inside out was a myth, and that food in a microwave cooked things regularly, from the surface to the inside.

[Evilcyber]

@0wenSlattery Well, it depends on how you define "inside". Some people think it's the center, but on very large pieces of foods the waves will never get there.

[bobbyboldy]

I looked up the microwave safe symbol and it seems to be a different one then the symbol you showed in your video. It looks like a dish with five horizontal waves above it, the symbol on your plastic container indicates that the container is safe to come in contact with food but is not necessarily safe to use in a microwave.

[Evilcyber]

@bobbyboldy Good to know, thanks for adding this! I had looked up the meaning of the symbol on my container and read that it indicates "food safe". 

[skatersirian]

Scooby microwaves his food. So there.

[Geistero]

I've read the MWOs are dangerous not only because of bad plastic dishes. There are studies, microwaves interfere with the protein on a molecular level and change it's structure in a bad way. So, it's not dangerous to heat water in MWO, but it's not healthy to use it for cooking protein-containing food (meat, milk, oats, etc.etc). In Germany I've seen a sign on the babyfood jars (glass jars, not plastic ones): don't heat in microwave. So, maybe it's worth digging into the subject a little more.

[Evilcyber]

@Geistero If you have links to these studies, please send them to me, because I looked up and down for peer-reviewed research showing this and found none.

The symbol on the baby food jars is to make people aware that while a glass jar can still be totally cold to the touch, its contents can be very hot. This is because there is nothing for the microwaves to interact with in the glass and they pass right through.

Some people weren't aware of this and fed their babies practically boiling food.

[Vetano]

Great Video, great phone! :P Found the part funny when you explained that microwaves harm nutrients less than regular ovens. Jesus how many times have I discussed this with relatives/friends... ;)

[Evilcyber]

@Vetano It took me years to convince my own mother ;)

[canvargun]

This was a topic I really was curious about! Thanks a lot for your time to prepare this video! Have a nice day Evilcyber. :)) Btw I also have an HTC great phone. :)

[Evilcyber]

@canvargun Don't all cool people have HTC phones? ;P

[antlp89]

Great explanation, nice vid once again.

[Evilcyber]

@antlp89 Thanks ant, once again! :)

[StonedRambo01]

Great vid, but I would not put anything plastic in the microwave, nor use plastic Spatulas for cooking.

[Evilcyber]

@StonedRambo01 Yeah, you have to be really careful there. Not only about the softeners; some plastic will also melt in the microwave.

[58jtaylor]

I wonder what it would look like to put a live rat into a microwave? I think it would be pretty funny. But my conscious wouldn't let me.

[PullTheTricker]

@58jtaylor

Haha I've been thinking the same thing. I must be out of my mind :P

[58jtaylor]

@PullTheTricker LOL, well, im sure someone out there has already done it. i will use my imagination instead i think.

[Evilcyber]

@58jtaylor You can't imagine how thankful I am to your conscious!

[58jtaylor]

@Evilcyber LOL, that was a good comeback. ;-) Great Vid too by the way!

[58jtaylor]

I love physics!!

[EnzoAmataTV]

Mobile Interference? - 3:56

[Evilcyber]

@EnzoAmataTV Hm, I didn't hear it. But could have been, because the phone was lying to my right.

[neirfane]

nice finish up. seemed a subtle hint at nutrition.

[titans091052]

I might starve without my microwave. They would have to be pretty dangerous for me to stop using them.
