First, let me state that I don't walk around with aluminum foil wrapped around my head in an effort to shield my thoughts from the aliens. And I'm not trying to spread fear or perpetuate a hoax. What I want to do here is present scientific facts explaining exactly why cooking in the microwave is worse than cooking over the traditional cave-man fire, or your GE stove at home.

I was instantly skeptical the first time I heard that microwaving your food was bad. I read about a study that measured nutrients in cooked broccoli [1], comparing it cooked on the stove vs. in the microwave oven. I figured there was something biased about the study, like only cooking on high. Or maybe they were using the same cook time for both the stove and the microwave oven. Or maybe the microwave oven was heating the food hotter than the stove. I was in disbelief. After all, a microwave oven shortens cooking times, and that's good, right? http://www.naturalnews.com/022015.html

I thought that all a microwave oven did was heat the food by moving the molecules faster. I was ignoring one very important characteristic of radio waves. Eventually, I put two and two together and realized something important.

But first, I need to explain how a microwave oven works. A microwave oven creates radio waves at a frequency of about 2.45 GHz [2, 3]. All radio waves are electromagnetic radiation.

  • I love how everyone says that because many pieces of technology have radiation therefore we shouldn't care that microwaves have radiation.

    With that same type of logic we could say murder happens all over the world therefore we shouldn't care that murder happens.

    I think its intelligent for us to be aware about food that does increase are chances of having cancer. Not to mention many studies show that microwaving food removes 100% nutrition in any food product.

  • @Conscript69 Well Reuters just did a story on how wifi damages and kills your sperm. The Russians did ban microwaves in their country until the cold war was over. The Russians termed the bad effects of this frequency "Radio Wave Sickness". Last year there were over 2300 names of studies released showing that this frequency is causing problems. The FCC is not a health agency.

  • These days they say EVERYTHING leads to cancer. Must we be that self-centered and greedy to be all paranoid about getting cancer and losing our oh-so-important selfish lives? We all die someday, just eat well and be a good person. The truth is that we all have cancer, but our bodies are strong enough to fight it on a daily basis. Those who 'have' cancer, simply have a weaker immune system due to many things that don't fit in this comment box.

  • Title says this is about microwave ovens.

  • @Conscript69 lol your computer montior can give you cancer 2 lol

  • Microwaves dangerous for your health? What kind of bullshit, i thought. Then i noticed it was a Faux News cover.

    /video

  • If you had all the money in the world . would you have your maids cook your food with fire , or a microwave ? ....

    yea i thought so ..

  • cell phone are 0.6 watts, microwave Oven leakage are less than cell phone. Ham Radio are 1500 watts , usually seems in residential neighbourhood, you tube video [ Antenna Stirs Up Controversy ] to see how it looks like. it is like putting whole neighbourhood into Microwave Oven.

  • No, a microwave oven is not bad for your health.

    And no, a cell phone does not lead to cancer.

    Faux Noise hosting troll again.
