If you have ever wondered whether or not microwaved food is safe, here's an
experiment you can do at home: Plant seeds in two pots. Water one pot with water
that has been microwaved, the other with regular tap water.

The seeds that received microwaved water won't sprout. If microwaved water can
stop plants from growing, think of what microwaved food can do to your health!

In 1989, Swiss biologist and food scientist Dr. Hans Hertel studied the effects
of microwaved food. Eight people participated in the study. For eight weeks,
they lived in a controlled environment and intermittently ate raw foods,
conventionally cooked foods and microwaved foods. Blood samples were tested
after each meal. They discovered that eating microwaved food, over time, causes
significant changes in blood chemistry:

1. A decrease in hemoglobin and cholesterol values, in the HDL (good
cholesterol) versus LDL (bad cholesterol) ratio and in white blood cells,
weakening the immune system, and an increase in leukocyte levels, which tends to
indicate poisoning and cell damage-conditions ripening the body for degenerative
diseases and/or cancer.

2. \";The measurable effects on man through the ingestion of microwaved food,
unlike untreated food, are blood alterations, that can also be found at the
beginning of a pathological condition, also indicative of a beginning cancerous
process,\"; wrote Dr. Bernard Blanc, who assisted in the study.

3. Microwave ovens \";cook\"; food by forcing the atoms, molecules and cells within
the food to reverse polarity billions of times per second, causing friction-the
more the friction, the more the heat. This oscillation tears and deforms the
molecular structure of food. New compounds, called radiolytic compounds, which
are not found in nature, are formed.

Interestingly, microwaves are actually used in gene-altering technology to
deliberately break cells and neutralize their \";life-force\"; so they can be
manipulated. Microwaves destroy the life force that gives food its vitality and
nourishment. When this life force dissipates, microorganisms start breaking food
down and it begins to rot.

In early 1991, a lawsuit was filed against an Oklahoma hospital because a
patient died from receiving a microwaved blood transfusion. Hospitals routinely
heat blood for transfusion, but not in a microwave.

The effects of microwaving breast milk have also been researched. John Kerner,
M.D. and Richard Quin, M.D. from Stanford University said, \";Microwaving human
milk, even at a low setting, can destroy some of its important disease-fighting
capabilities.\";

4. After more research, Kerner wrote in the April, 1992 edition of Pediatrics
that \";Microwaving itself may in fact cause some injury to the milk above and
beyond the heating.\";

In addition, a radio announcement at the University of Minnesota said,
\";Microwaves are not recommended for heating a baby's bottle Heating the bottle
in a microwave can cause slight changes in the milk. In infant formulas, there
may be a loss of some vitamins. In expressed milk, some protective properties
may be destroyed.\";

5. Another study in Vienna warned that microwaving breast milk \";can lead to
structural, functional and immunological changes,\"; and that microwaves transform
the amino acid L-proline into D-proline, a proven toxin to the nervous system,
liver and kidneys.

6. In Russia, microwave ovens were banned in 1976 because of their negative
health consequences and many studies were conducted on their use. Here are some
of their findings on microwaving food:

* Microwaved foods lose 60 to 90 percent of the vital-energy field and
microwaving accelerates the structural disintegration of foods.

* Microwaving creates cancer-causing agents within milk and cereals.

* Microwaving alters elemental food-substances, causing digestive disorders.

* 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.

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

* 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.

* 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.

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

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

Aside form these studies, many people find that microwaving their food doesn't
help them feel good. Stephanie Relfe, Kinesiologist, found herself feeling \";gray
and rather low\"; one day and discovered that she had inadvertently eaten
microwaved food at a restaurant.

In her practice, Relfe 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.\";

The Idaho Observer worried mom replied. Thank you very much for such a valuable information,it was a good idea to keep this in the discussion board..
but i am now tensed because i have used microwave for my baby food(only the vegetables).and now i am worried about my babies health.please do suggest me something what should i do now,is there any remedy for it now..
Thanks in advance for your advise.
Worried mom Mother replied. Very informative, thanks for this. I agree that Microwave should be banned worldwide. Atleast for kids never use Microwave.
