I guess it is that time of year again. The time of year when people post stupid bullshit that is (even more stupid than usual.)

I took it upon myself to shoot holes though the last installment of anti-microwave propaganda and I shall do so again. Hopefully this will be the last time, though I do have my doubts.

For reference, the last time someone posted a stupid article like this was here

------------------------------------------------------

1) Microwaved foods lose 60 ~ 90% of the vital-energy field and microwaving accelerates the structural disintegration of foods.

Here we go again with the "fields", last time it was "life-energy field", this time it is "vital-energy field"... Regardless, you will never hear a real scientist using either of these terms, because they simply don't exist.

While the vital-energy field thing is rubbish, it is claimed that heating your food will deteriorate the "good things" in it, that being the case.. microwave, oven, frypan or boiler.. it makes no difference.


2) Microwaving creates cancer-causing agents within milk and cereals.

Fuck Off. I'm sure there were plenty of bored hosewives were behind this one.
Back in the good old days when asbestos and lead pipes were abundant, There wasn't such thing as a truly "Microwave Safe" container. So the suspicion is, that old tupperware used to let unsafe chemicals / carcinogens seep into whatever food was in the container when heated.

It stops there, years and years ago. Now days tupperware is manufactured so this cannot happen.


3) Microwaving alters elemental food-substances, causing digestive disorders.

No. Heating is NOT a chemical reaction / change

4) Microwaving alters food chemistry which can lead to malfunctions in the lymphatic system and degeneration of the body's ability to protect itself against cancerous growths.

Again with the altering chemistry. HEATINGISNOTACHEMICALCHANGE

5) Microwaved foods lead to a higher percentage of cancerous cells in the bloodstream.

We have been over this before, it doesn't.

6. Microwaving altered the breakdown of elemental substances when raw, cooked, or frozen vegetables were exposed for even a very short time and free radicals were formed.

MICROWAVING is HEATING the food. No reaction takes place! THEREFORE no new substances are formed. Unless of course by "free radicals" they mean bacteria.. which exists everywhere anyway, so that is just stupid.


7) Microwaved foods caused stomach and intestinal cancerous growths, a general degeneration of peripheral cellular tissues, and a gradual breakdown of the digestive and excretive systems in a statistically high percentage of people.

No no no.

8. Microwaved foods lowered the body's ability of the body to utilize B-complex vitamins, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, essential minerals and lipotropics.

If that is the case, any other means of cooking that heats your food must do the same.

9. The microwave field next to a microwave oven caused a slew of health problems as well.

No. Microwaves are SHIELDED.

Aside form these studies, many people find that microwaving their food doesn't help them feel good (heh heh, you deserve it then stupid fucks). Stephanie Relfe, Kinesiologist, found herself feeling "grey and rather low" one day and discovered that she had inadvertently eaten microwaved food at a restaurant.8 In her practice, she found that all of her patients gave body signals of having allergic reactions to microwaved foods. Another Kinesiologist, David Bridgeman, said, "Of all the people I test for allergies, 99.9% so far show severe sensitivity to any microwaved food."

... what can I say.. I bet this person watches the primetime hour of news where the media blow simple issues or rumors immensly out of proportion.

Go look up "Kinesiology" on google. The following payed advertisements showed up for my search:

www.naturaltherapypages.com.au
www.healingenergy.com.au

healing energy? natural therapy? Apparently these "Kinesiologists" are in on the microwave conspiracy!


Also, homeopathy in the vicinity of a microwave looses its healing potential...
not to worry, we never had anything to "loose" (heh) anyway, because homeopathy has no healing potential.

In conclusion then, the safest way to heat your food is to use your stovetop and throw away your microwave!

Whatever, loser.
