"Speaking of microwave ovens, did you know that the microwaves alter the actual molecular structure of the food you're zapping? And that the cells in food literally explode when microwaved? Don't you find that odd, curious, even scary? Using microwave technology dramatically reduces the nutritional value of foods and promotes the creation of free radical, cancer-causing agents. We must choose between being exposed to toxic elements versus the convenience of having what we want when we want it. Are you willing to give up the convenience of using a microwave?" - Craig Pepin-Donat, The Big Fat Health and Fitness Lie (Get the book.)

"But if standard drug therapy doesn't work, and if the patient is not ready to try standard surgical removal of the tissue, he might opt for another procedure—new and less invasive than prostate removal—called transurethral microwave thermal therapy (TUMT). In this treatment, microwaves heat up and destroy excess tissue of the prostate gland that has been crimping the urethra (and thus, urine flow). And while it is not exactly surgery, it does involve threading a thin microwave wand through the urethra and into the inner recesses of the male reproductive cavity." - Bottom Line Books, Uncommon Cures For Everyday Ailments (Get the book.)

"Zap it in the microwave for i minute 30 seconds. Anthony's Oatmeal and Vegetables Anthony Yen includes vegetables in his daily breakfast. 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats 2 cups water 3 handfuls fresh spinach, or 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables low-sodium tamari (optional) Put oats, water, and spinach in a big microwave-safe bowl.

"Besides irradiating food, electromagnetic fields and invisible microwave emissions can bypass the built-in shielding in microwave ovens, and can leak through aging door seals, allowing them to travel to other rooms of the house. The history of microwave ovens dates back to World War II, when the Nazis began research and development of these devices." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"Don't microwave your food or drinks in plastic containers; avoid using plastic wrap to cover food in the microwave. • Get a good-quality water filter for your home. Drink and cook with filtered water. 197 When possible, eat only organic, hormone-free meat and dairy products. Eat organic produce, which has not been sprayed with pesticides. Wash all produce to rid it of any type of chemical residue or pesticides. Throw away all pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides. Never tent your house and fumigate it with pesticides." - C. W.

"The body cannot cope with heated fats • Try not to use a microwave oven—this method of cooking destroys as many nutrients as pressure cooking or vigorous boiling. And there is always the danger of leakage from the microwave. Stand at least six feet away from a microwave if you do use it • Use as few condiments as possible Making the transition from your old habits to the Perfect Health lifestyle is not as difficult or as complicated as you may have feared. Take things slowly and don't become discouraged if you are not able to progress as quickly as you would like." - Mary-Ann Shearer, Perfect Health the Natural Way (Get the book.)

"The first is a piece of news about a lawsuit in Oklahoma in 1991 concerning the hospital use of a microwave oven to warm blood needed in a transfusion. The case involved a hip surgery patient, Norma Levitt, who died from a simple blood transfusion. It seems the nurse had warmed the blood in a microwave oven. The implication is that the microwaving of the blood to be transfused transformed the structure of the previously compatible blood, making it incompatible for transfusion." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.) "All foods that were processed through the microwave ovens caused changes in the blood of the volunteers. Hemoglobin levels decreased and overall white cell levels and cholesterol levels increased. Lymphocytes decreased. The fourth piece of information concerns the carcinogens created when the food is microwaved.

Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"I know this is a sad day for many of you, but here are the real facts about food cooked in the microwave. When you take the food out of the microwave, I believe it keeps on cooking! When that nuked food hits your stomach at such a high temperature, it destroys not only the nutritional content of your food, but also, in my opinion, it could possibly cause tissue damage. The only thing your microwave is good for is to anchor your boat." - Timothy Brantley, The Cure: Heal Your Body, Save Your Life (Get the book.)

"Don't microwave your food or drinks in plastic containers; avoid using plastic wrap to cover food in the microwave. • Get a good-quality water filter for your home.

"Neil Cherry, a biophysicist at Lincoln University in Christchurch, New Zealand, considers the proliferation of cellphones, microwave towers and microwave pollution to be a serious contributor to cancer, brain tumours and increasing neurological problems. Leif Salford, head of the Lund University research team, said the exposure of the brain to microwaves from mobile phones is the largest human biological experiment ever. As use of the technology continues to expand, he said, people may 'drown in a sea of microwaves'." - David Icke, Icke David, Infinite Love Is the Only Truth: Everything Else Is Illusion (Get the book.)

"The easiest way to make this dish is via the microwave. Cook the egg and pepperoni for 1 minute; then add the tofu cheese and microwave the dish for another 40 to 60 seconds, depending on the amount of Egg-Beaters you started with. For a change of pace, substitute pieces of smoked salmon or mushrooms instead of the pepperoni. This omelet, plus coffee or tea, is your breakfast. If you drink tea, choose green tea. Lunch could consist of canned tuna fish or salmon with low-fat mayonnaise and cucumber slices on top of a slice of lettuce." - Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D., Your Symptoms Are Real: What to Do When Your Doctor Says Nothing Is Wrong (Get the book.)

"Home meal replacements, as they are called, are intended to be easily reheated in the oven or microwave and are designed to eliminate the need to cook at home by providing a wide variety of higher quality foods that are as convenient and affordable as fast food [199]. The widespread adoption of microwave ovens by U.S. households (now in nearly 90% of homes) contributes to the convenience of home meal replacements for takeout [199]. Driven by consumer demand for convenience due to hectic schedules, the market for home meal replacements will continue to rise." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.)

"Suggestion #3: Avoid heating foods in the microwave since minerals, vitamins, and nutrients are reduced or altered (not to mention the other dangers that have been shown with microwaves). Replacement: Use your stove top or regular cooking oven. A great investment is a toaster oven that can heat foods quickly and almost as easily as a microwave. Use broths to moisten foods and add flavor when reheating. Meal Ideas The following ideas include choosing more whole foods and possibly some extra preparation time." - M.D. David Brownstein, The Guide to Healthy Eating (Get the book.)

"The history of microwave ovens dates back to World War II, when the Nazis began research and development of these devices. They were searching for ways to overcome the logistical problems of producing edible food in a short time, and to be able to reduce the amount and bulk of cooking fuels that would be required to support their planned operations for the military invasion of Russia.19 At the end of the war, the United States' War Department and the Soviet Union obtained the German microwave research and some of the devices. They took them home for further study." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"If we aren't picking it up at a drive-through window, we're nuking it in a microwave. We cook fast, eat fast, live fast, and are on the fast track for dying due to diabetes, obesity, and heart disease. Supplements are not a panacea for a nutritionally deficient diet. They are exactly what their name implies: supplemental. Our advice is to follow the antiglycation eating guidelines that we offer you and to supplement it with selected, scientifically tested micronutrients to best support and maintain your health." - Steven V. Joyal, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Diabetes: An Innovative Program to Prevent, Treat, and Beat This Controllable Disease (Get the book.)

"Since we're often too busy to cook at home, we grab processed foods out of the freezer and pop them into the microwave. We've been conditioned to want our food cheap, quick, and filling—no matter if that food also happens to be packed with triglycerides and trans fatty acids and artificial chemicals. For the sake of our children, we need to start rethinking this damaging relationship with food, if possible at the very beginning of their lives." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.) "Turn to the resources section at the end of the book for quick, easy snacks that don't require a microwave. Blue Moon Treats If you let your child stare at the computer or television screen all day, play on a Game Boy around the clock, live off chips and cookies, that child will grow up to be unhealthy and probably unhappy, too. For your child's well-being, save those chips and cookies for what my family refers to as a "blue moon treat," meaning an indulgence that we reserve for special occasions—when we're on vacation or in the company of family and friends." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"Now the consumption of n-3 fatty acids is dwarfed by consumption of n-6 fatty acids, which are found in red meats, and in industrial oils (soya, corn, and sunflower) that are used to make the fried foods, microwave dinners, and snack foods such as chips, fries, cookies, and ice creams that comprise so much of our modern diets. Statistical correlations have been found between dietary intake of trans fats and occurrence of dementia, while polyunsaturated fats and monosaturated fats of vegetable origin appear to be associated with a reduced risk." - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.)

"Scientists have long known that these fluctuations account for the random noise of microwave receivers or electronic circuits, limiting the level to which signals can be amplified. Even fluorescent strip lighting relies on vacuum fluctuations to operate. Imagine taking a charged subatomic particle and attaching it to a little frictionless spring (as physicists are fond of doing to work out their equations). It should bounce up and down for a while and then, at a temperature of absolute zero, stop moving." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"The widespread adoption of microwave ovens by U.S. households (now in nearly 90% of homes) contributes to the convenience of home meal replacements for takeout [199]. Driven by consumer demand for convenience due to hectic schedules, the market for home meal replacements will continue to rise. It is speculated that miniaturized outlets offering hot fast-food meals might one day be as common in public buildings as soft drink machines are today [199]. This speaks to the need for consumer education and nutrition labeling of these products. 4." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.)

"They're great fast fixes for action-packed weeknights or microwave lunches. I love soy and veggie burgers. They usually contain less saturated fat than beef burgers, some feature high-quality soy protein, and most of the veggie/soy options add at least a couple grams of fiber. Here are a few examples. BOCA Vegan Burger: 110 calories, 2 g fat, 13 g protein, 5 g fiber Gardenburger Flame Grilled Soy Burger: 120 calories, 4 g fat, 14 g protein, 4 g fiber Gardenburger Portabella Burger: 100 calories, 2." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.)

"Further research summarized in this article reveal that microwave ovens are far more harmful than previously imagined. The fifth interesting piece of information is the Russian investigations published by the Atlantis Raising Educational Center in Portland, Oregon. Carcinogens were formed in virtually all foods tested. No test food was subjected to more microwaving than necessary to accomplish the purpose, that is, cooking, thawing, or heating to ensure sanitary ingestion. Here's a summary of some of the results: ?" - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Other studies reveal that children exposed to x-rays are more likely to develop breast cancer as adults. microwave ovens that heat and radiate your food are just as damaging and can cause cancer of the blood, as well as tumors in the brain and other parts of the body. (See section below.) Facts about mammography: • Each x-ray you accumulate increases your risk of abnormal cell growth. One standard mammography test results in approximately 1 rad (radiation absorbed dose) exposure, about 1,000 times greater than that from a chest x-ray." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"Lita Lee, in a May 2001 article entitled Health Effects of Microwaves and microwave Ovens, maintains that every microwave oven leaks some electromagnetic radiation, harms food, and converts substances cooked in it into dangerous organotoxic and carcinogenic products. Similar studies concur. Not enough is known about the effects of chemically altered food to say that microwaves are not harmful to humans. The Fix Until more is known, it might be safer to "nuke" food only when a "quick fix" is necessary, rather than on a daily basis." - Phyllis A. Balch, CNC, Prescription for Dietary Wellness: Using Foods to Heal (Get the book.)

"Bisphenol A (BPA), discussed earlier in the section on "gender bender" effects, is another plasticizer, one frequently used in the manufacture of polycarbonate water, baby, and cosmetic bottles, food can linings, microwave oven dishes, dental sealants, and medical devices. In addition to the effects outlined previously, exposure to very low levels in pregnant rodents ?2,000 times lower than the Environmental Protection Agency's "safe dose" ?resulted in sexual abnormalities in the rodents' offspring (33,34)." - Samuel S.
