Microwaves are bad news!!

acoustic guy

Ok so I do not have a link for you b/c one, I read it in a book of mine called
"Politically Incorrect Nutrition" by Michael Barbee CDC. and two,
if i did i can never get it right on linking.
Anyway,
A lot of people are getting cancer these days, more then ever. we are finding out now how most of it comes from the microwave. It is also one of the reasons why we have a huge obesity problem in the US. Russia banned the Microwave in the 70's and there was talk about it here but you most likely never heard about it b/c the big companies who made them said it was slander bla bla bla so it did not last.
Basiclly, it kills any and all nutrition in the food you put in it so in turn you are eating an empty piece of meat filled with carcinogens. All the nutrition is gone.
It's funny b/c I never thought about food like this until i found out that I had I blood Pressure at 30 years old. Its in my family, I had to go on meds for it. Way to young for that, so I changed my diet, worked out more and now I am almost off them for good.
Also, all the popular new quick microwave foods they sell now are filled with tons and tons of Sodium. This give you hypertension, and many other problems in your body. Bad bad bad.
Whenever possible, use the toster or warmn it up in a pan on the stove.

I am sure people from other countries in here know what I am talking about. No other country uses the microwave as much as we do.
Hope that helps.
Oh, another great book is called "The truth about Food" by Dr. Mehmet Oz.

Nobody cares???
OK. see ya in the promise land!

They may be killers but they cut so much waiting around time when you are hungry.

In all seriousness though, ive never ever thought that microwaved food would be good for you, but ill still use them now and again. If the microwaved foods dont get me, something else will. I might turn down an offer of a microwave quarter pounder and then get whacked by a bus when i leave the house. Im not being totally naive or ignorant of the health issues, and i hardly ever eat microwave packet meals, but ill still use them for heating stuff up if i come home late for work or something.

I care.
I was just commenting the other day that it seems like everybody who dies is dying from cancer.
common sense should dictate that microwaves are bad. sadly i still use them.
cell phones are horrible too. in the coming years you will see a lot of people with tumors. sometimes technology sucks.

Haven't scientists already confirmed cell phones can't give you tumors?
Stop cooking food in shoddy plastic in the microwave and you should be ok

When my mom was really sick we went to this place in Florida called Hippocrates Health Institute. They CURE cancer and work miracles (sometimes) by eating a very strange diet... They do shots of wheat grass, drink green drinks that are blended up sprouts, cucumbers, and other healthy raw veggies, and all they eat is raw vegetables (mostly sprouts)
While she was there I learned a lot about diet and since the first day she went there, I learned about microwaves and stopped using them completely. It has now been a year since I've used a microwave... I use my quessadilla machine almost dailey and the oven/stove for everything else...
I remember them saying using a microwave is like having a nuke go off in your insides...

and all prepacked food contains alot of sodium, whether you heat it in a microwave or in a conventional oven.

At least there's one other person here who doesn't believe the hype

maybe, but it's also been confirmed that scientists can be wrong. especially when something is making billions for somebody.

Possible, but I'll go with the WHO on this one.

and yet they are totally right on global warming which will make billions for companies and shift billions more from the oil industry...

Then why keep it? Do you live in a wind tunnel? Seems like a pretty clunky paper weight.

We use microwaves to heat water, soften butter, reheat leftovers once in a while (hardly ever), pop popcorn. I also make popcorn on the stovetop. It just depends on how lazy I'm feeling. I don't buy frozen, pre-packaged meals. We make everything here, from scratch, so I don't have much reason to use the microwave. I work with a bunch of organic-eating, anti-microwave-ites that have tried to convince me to eat like them, but I refuse.

The microwave doesn't kill all the nutrients and replace them with carcinogens anyway.
If you (not you, Crazy Mary, but anyone) put crap in the microwave, it's still gonna be crap when it comes out :P
The microwave basically gets used to heat peas and leftovers in my house.

hehe I have the counter space, and it actually looks nice in the kitchen as an appliance. It's a convienience option for guests, but I myself never rape any of the the food I eat with it. heh.
