why microwave cooking is bad for you health.

That article is something that everyone should read. I haven't got, and never have had, a microwave. Years ago I remember reading somwhere something to the effect that pregnant women should not stand in front of a microwave as it could cause harm to their unborn baby - and that rang alarm bells for me. My son and some of my friends have one but all they ever seem to use them for is to heat up food. Surely we managed that before they were invented? They are so bulky too and take up so much space in the kitchen and compared to the amount of time that they are in use, they seem a waste, just from that point of view. Reading through that article and of all the harm that eating food that has been in a microwave can cause, it makes me wonder, in a century or so from now, what the state of human health will be On another not which coud be used as a comparison: not many decades ago everyone was promoting smoking. It was the "in" thing to be doing. Now look at how things have changed and the damage smoking has caused to so many people whether they chose to smoke or not. Now many goverments and health associations everywhere are trying to put a stop to it. Will that be the same with microwaves in a few decades when more studies have taken place and the real long-term damage that they can cause has become evident?

I have a microwave oven since borever but I only use it once in a while to heat rice in emergency. I have found out that many ingredients change in texture and it´s not for the better. So I use a normal range and a small electric oven for all my cooking. It takes more time to make a diner but it tastes a lot better. Now, with what I just read, I think there´s not a single reason to use the contraption. Thanks for adding yet other reasons for the many I had.

I didn't read the whole thing but numbers one and I think six are reasons enough. I want to try to eat healthier, and if that means doing everything on the stove then so be it. I knew microwaves were bad I just didn't know how bad.

I just plan to get microwave because I never had it.I think it can make our life more easier sometimes..I love cooking and i never cook using microwave..But now I must think about it again.But not everything is bad right?Feel blur now..

These days almost everything you eat is bad for you. Unless you're home-growing without any additives, everything from breakfast, lunch and dinner to snacks, then there's something there that's doing you harm. Some of the natural foods are even said to be bad for you. I don't have a microwave, simply because my last one broke down years ago and we never bothered to get another. When I get a microwave again, I will use it just as little as I did before. Everything in moderation.

This is very disappointing and alarming for me. We have been using microwave at home for most of the heating, thawing, and sometimes even light cooking our food. I never thought that using microwave is unhealthy. I hope there was some sort of tips on how to reduce the bad effects of microwave ovens, on this article.
