Are Microwaves Safe?

Where would you be without your microwave oven? Aren’t they just a huge time-saver? You can cook a meal in seconds. Even frozen food can be defrosted and ready to eat in a matter of minutes. But have you ever wondered… are microwaves safe? Are there any dangers to using them? How could there be any dangers? If there were, the government would have taken microwave ovens off the market, right? These are the questions we’re going to explore in this article. Microwave Ovens Use Microwaves – a Form of EMF As the name suggests, “microwave ovens” use microwaves. These microwaves, which are a form of electromagnetic field (EMF) generated by a magnetron, vibrate at a speed of 2.4 billion times per second. This causes […] Read More

These Diseases Are All Caused by Microwave Ovens — And You’ve Probably Ignored Them

Did you know that over 90% of American homes regularly use microwave ovens for meal preparation? Microwave ovens pulse electromagnetic waves through food, exciting the molecules and causing them to move, vibrate and heat up as they respond to the microwave radiation. It is a device called a Magnetron in the microwave oven that produces wave energy. This wave energy converts polarity of molecules from positive to negative. This polarity changes millions of times every second in the microwave oven. Microwaves bombard the food molecules and makes the polarized molecules to radiate at the same frequency millions of times every second. This heats the food but at the same time  causes ‘structural isomerism’ – structural damage of the food molecules. A Swiss study led by biologist […] Read More

5 Reasons to Never microwave food

Microwaves are one of the most convenient kitchen appliances. In a rush and don’t have enough time to crank up the stove? No problem – just toss it in the microwave, hit one of the preset buttons, and finish up getting your outfit ready while your leftovers warm. But what’s the cost of that convenience? Hint: It’s a lot more than the $200 or so you spend on the microwave. Conventional heat ovens cook food slowly from the outside in. A microwave, on the other hand, uses tiny (micro) high-powered radio waves to agitate the molecules in food. It’s similar to the way the sun heats up your face – by radiation. And that’s where the trouble begins. Problem #1 – Radiation Microwaves don’t contain all […] Read More
