"Here's a summary of some of the results: ?Microwaving prepared meats sufficiently to ensure sanitary ingestion caused formation of d-Nitrosodienthanolamines, a well-known carcinogen. ?Microwaving milk and cereal grains converted some of their amino acids into carcinogens. Thawing frozen fruits converted their glucoside and galactoside containing fractions into carcinogenic substances. ?Extremely short exposure of raw, cooked, or frozen vegetables converted their plant alkaloids into carcinogens. ?Carcinogenic free radicals were formed in microwaved plants, especially root vegetables." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.) "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. The second is a report on microwaved baby formula, from The Lancet of December 9, 1989: Microwaving baby formulas converted certain trans-amino acids into their synthetic cis-isomers. Synthetic isomers, whether cis-amino acids or trans-fatty acids, are not biologically active." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.) "Microwaving prepared meats sufficiently to ensure sanitary ingestion caused formation of d-Nitrosodienthanolamines, a well-known carcinogen. ?Microwaving milk and cereal grains converted some of their amino acids into carcinogens.

"Toxins, including pesticides, mercury, fluoride, radiation, alcohol, caffeine, cigarette smoke, and phthalates (chemicals added to plastics, often emitted when heating or microwaving plastics). 6. Thyroid antibodies These are discussed below. Thyroid Antibodies Thyroid antibodies are also a common problem for perimenopausal and menopausal women, and you should know if you have any. Autoimmune thyroiditis, also known as Hashimoto's disease, is fifty times more common in women than in men, and tends to occur during perimenopause and menopause." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.)

"Over-cooking and microwaving foods may also produce large amounts of acrylamide. Boiled and unheated foods don't contain acrylamide. In this new study, researchers examined data gathered by the Netherlands Cohort study on diet and cancer_occurrence among 62,573 women. The women who ingested the most acrylamide, 40.2 micrograms per day, had a 29 percent higher risk of endometrial cancer (cancer of the uterus lining) and a 78 percent higher risk of ovarian cancer." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"It's bad enough that many babies are not nursed, but now they are given fake milk (baby formula) made even more toxic via microwaving. The third is a report on eating microwaved food, showing that eating microwaved food changes blood chemistry. Titled "Comparative Study of Food Prepared Conventionally and in the Microwave Oven," published by Raum and Zelt in 1992, at 3(2):43, it states: One short-term study found significant and disturbing changes in the blood of individuals consuming microwaved milk and vegetables." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Cooking and microwaving lower the amount of antioxidants in your foods, so fresh is always best. Berries, pomegranates, sunflower seeds, and walnuts are foods with some of the highest antioxidant content. All citrus fruits, including oranges, pineapples, kiwi fruits, prunes, and dates, are also very good sources. Vegetables high in antioxidants include kale, red cabbage, red and green peppers, parsley, artichokes, Brussels sprouts, and spinach. Roots such as ginger and red beets are also great. Even grains contain antioxidants, particularly barley, corn, oats, and millet." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.)

"SHUN THE MICROWAVE Microwaving the lemonade, or any food, depletes its life energy. microwaving makes vitamins and minerals useless or decreases their nutrients, renders protein worthless, causes fruits and vegetables to be harder to digest, and makes food acid-forming.7 When you starve a body by fasting, the complete lack of nutrition forces the process of autolysis to become extremely selective. Because all tissues are made up of nutrients from the food we eat, all our tissues, whether healthy or unhealthy ones, become a reserve that is accessed in times of need." - Tom Woloshyn, The Complete Master Cleanse: A Step-by-Step Guide to Maximizing the Benefits of The Lemonade Diet (Get the book.)

"Overcooking foods or microwaving them may alter the foods' vitamin and enzyme content. This is particularly true for the elderly, who frequently cannot get out to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables and who may use microwaving as their preferred way of cooking. microwaving can seriously reduce B vitamins in food. Recently it has been discovered that many suffer from large deficiencies of B vitamins, especially in the elderly population. I am very skeptical of microwaves and don't have one in my house. Habits such as microwaving are in a sense similar to using a low-grade fuel." - Stephen T., M.D. Sinatra, Optimum Health - A Cardiologist's Prescription for Optimum Health (Get the book.)

"Probably the worst form of cooking is microwaving, which severely deranges food molecules, creating a toxic mess! Dr. Hans Hertel of Switzerland carried out a small, but well-controlled, study on the effects of eating micro-waved food and was fired from his job as a food scientist because of it. He learned from his experiment that microwaved food causes abnormal changes in human blood and the defense mechanisms. Additionally, microwave appliance leakage, which often goes undetected, can lead to skin cancer, birth defects, cataracts, dizziness, headaches and blood disorders." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"That's because dad and each of the kids are likely to prepare an entirely different entree for themselves, "preparing" in this case being a synonym for microwaving a package. Each family member might then join mom at the table for as long as it takes to eat, but not necessarily all at the same time. Technically, this kind of feeding counts as a family dinner in the survey results, though it's hard to believe it performs all the customary functions of a shared meal. Kraft or General Mills, for instance, is now determining the portion sizes, not mom, and the social value of sharing food is lost." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.)

"The bottle may seem cool on the outside but the liquid may be extremely hot on the inside, burning the mouth and throat of the baby drinking it. microwaving can also cause changes in the milk such as a loss of vitamins and minerals. microwaving breast milk may cause it to lose its natural protective properties. In The Body Electric, Robert O. Becker said, "Because the body is electrochemical in nature, the force that disrupts or changes human electrochemical avents will affect the physiology of the body." - Gregory, A. Gore, Defeat Cancer (Get the book.)

"This is particularly true for the elderly, who frequently cannot get out to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables and who may use microwaving as their preferred way of cooking. microwaving can seriously reduce B vitamins in food. Recently it has been discovered that many suffer from large deficiencies of B vitamins, especially in the elderly population. I am very skeptical of microwaves and don't have one in my house. Habits such as microwaving are in a sense similar to using a low-grade fuel. Freshness can also be fleeting." - Stephen T., M.D. Sinatra, Optimum Health - A Cardiologist's Prescription for Optimum Health (Get the book.)

"Microwaving is not an adequate method of cooking pork, since microwaving meat does not consistently kill infective worms. • Freeze pork less than 6 inches thick for twenty days at 5 degrees F. to kill any worms. • If you prepare your own ground meats, always be sure to clean the meat grinder thoroughly. • Trichinae are not found in Europe, allowing the production and consumption of prosciutto, an Italian delicacy of thinly sliced raw pork, which can now be imported into the United States." - Michael Murray, N.D. and Joseph Pizzorno, N.D., The Encyclopedia of Healing Foods (Get the book.)

"Allicin starts to degrade after it's produced, so the fresher it is when you use it, the better. microwaving appears to destroy it completely— sorry. Garlic experts advise crushing a little raw garlic and combining it with the cooked food shortly before serving. Eating it raw isn't recommended because it can be irritating to the stomach. Gringer * Now here's the deal with garlic supplements: In a laboratory, dried garlic powder gets added to water so that the alliin and allinase can quickly react to make allicin. The amount of allicin produced is the measure of "allicin potential." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth About What You Should Eat and Why (Get the book.)

"Examples: Microwave meals are designed by food technologists to survive cooking, freezing, and microwaving. They're more of a testament to technology than to good nutrition. Nearly all brands leave a lot to be desired, but you may be a little better off with Indian- or Thai-style meals, if you like those cuisines. Be just as circumspect when looking at the fine print of health food brands. Guideline 9. Avoid Most Refined Oils Here s why: Olive oil, macadamia nut oil, and avocado oil are healthy, but most other oils are not." - Jack Challem, The Food-Mood Solution: All-Natural Ways to Banish Anxiety, Depression, Anger, Stress, Overeating, and Alcohol and Drug Problems--and Feel Good Again (Get the book.)

"Even among people who do enjoy cooking, a lack of time often leads to simply microwaving prepared foods. Planning meals, shopping, and cooking do take more time than simply driving through McDonald's. But cooking doesn't have to be a chore, and there are many ways to streamline the process so it doesn't take an inordinate amount of time. To be blunt, you can either make the time to cook healthy foods now or plan to be disabled in a few years. Cooking can be fun, creative, and a wonderful experience that involves all of your senses." - Jack Challem, Stop Prediabetes Now: The Ultimate Plan to Lose Weight and Prevent Diabetes (Get the book.)

"Doctors never mention the chemical poisons used in the producing of the food, the chemicals used in the processing of the food, the microwaving and irradiation of the food causing it to be energetic toxic, the growth hormones and antibiotics used in the meat and dairy, and the other environmental toxins that get into the food in the cooking, storing, and manufacturing." - Kevin Trudeau, More Natural Cures Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure Disease (Get the book.)

"If cooking does some damage to enzymes and foods, then microwaving is the equivalent to a nuclear blast, leaving everything once living lifeless and wilted. i I. Chemicals This is the catch-all... As a general rule, anything that's longer than 15 letters, you can't pronounce and is hyphenated is generally not good for you.

"After the cloths are dry, microwaving them for 30 seconds destroys most bacteria and viruses. Sanitize sponges and dishcloths by soaking them for ten minutes or longer in a water and bleach solution. Mix 3/4 cup of chlorine bleach in one gallon of water. Wipe surfaces: The flu virus can survive 48 hours or longer on an exposed surface. Keep frequently touched objects like phone handsets, computer keyboards, doorknobs, and other commonly used objects clean. Wipe flat surfaces like countertops, desks, and tables where viruses can land." - J. E. Williams, Beating the Flu: The Natural Prescription for Surviving Pandemic Influenza and Bird Flu (Get the book.)

"He found that microwaving can cause a decrease in blood hemoglobin levels, white and red blood cell problems, altering of protein molecules and of LDL and HDL cholesterol levels, and possible altering of the structure of water when heated or boiled. Cells of nutrients can become destructively polarized, and free radicals can be created. This may cause major disruption in the human biological processes. This, in turn, may cause cancer-causing agents to increase and start to attack our bodies, causing disease." - Gregory, A. Gore, Defeat Cancer (Get the book.) "The Russian research on microwaving was published by the Atlantis Raising Educational Center in Portland, Oregon. It was shown that carcinogens were formed in virtually all foods tested. No foods tested were microwaved longer than necessary to be cooked properly. It was shown that: 1. meats were caused to form d-nitrosodientholamine, a well-known carcinogen; 2. milk and cereal grain amino acids were turned into carcinogens; 3. thawing fruits turned glucoside and galactoside into carcinogenic substances; 4. plants, especially root vegetables, were turned into carcinogenic free radicals; 5." - Gregory, A. Gore, Defeat Cancer (Get the book.) "Do they know something we don't, or are we not being told the real truth about the dangers of microwaving? In 1991, a hip replacement patient in the United States was given blood that had been warmed in a microwave for a blood transfusion and died when receiving the blood. Blood used for transfusions is routinely warmed but microwave ovens are not used to do this. In the book, Health Effects of Microwave Radiation-Microwave, Dr. Lita Lee stated that, "every microwave oven leaks electro-magnetic radiation, which harms food and converts it into dangerous, toxic, and carcinogenic products. " - Gregory, A. Gore, Defeat Cancer (Get the book.)

"Severe burns with destruction of oral tissues have been reported for infants fed bottles of milk heated in microwave ovens. microwaving human milk is further contraindicated because some of the anti-infective components of human milk can be damaged. Even at low temperatures (20 to 53°Q, microwaving reportedly reduced specific IgA to some E coli serotypes. It also decreased lysozyme and increased growth of E coli to five times that of controls. microwaving at high temperature (72 to q8°C) was even more desttuctive." - Reginald C. Tsang, Nutrition During Infancy: Principles and Practice (Get the book.)

"This is particularly true for the elderly, who frequently cannot get out to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables and who may use microwaving as their preferred way of cooking. microwaving can seriously reduce B vitamins in food.

"In Spain, food scientists measured the levels of flavonoids remaining in fresh broccoli after cooking by four popular methods: steaming, pressure cooking, boiling or microwaving. The four treatments showed large differences in their influence upon broccoli's flavonoid content. Conventional boiling led to significant flavonoid loss (sixty-six percent), while high-pressure boiling caused considerable leaching (forty-seven percent) of one of the studied flavonoid derivatives into cooking water." - Anthony Colpo, The Great Cholesterol Con: Why Everything You've been Told About Cholesterol, Diet and Heart Disease is Wrong (Get the book.)

"Consider the current methods of cooking and preserving foods, such as blanching, boiling, microwaving, baking, and homogenizing, when making this assessment. Next, consider the effects of fluids on digestion. Research suggests that for optimal digestion to occur, one or two glasses of room temperature water with a meal is essential for stimulating gastric, pancreatic, and intestinal responses. Carbonated beverages, or beverages that are excessively cooled, will inhibit these processes, as will excessive ingestion of coffee or alcohol." - Richard, Dr. DiCenso, Beyond Medicine, exploring a new way of thinking (Get the book.)

"Microwaving is not an adequate method of cooking pork, since microwaving meat does not consistently kill infective worms. • Freeze pork less than 6 inches thick for twenty days at 5 degrees F. to kill any worms. • If you prepare your own ground meats, always be sure to clean the meat grinder thoroughly. • Trichinae are not found in Europe, allowing the production and consumption of prosciutto, an Italian delicacy of thinly sliced raw pork, which can now be imported into the United States." - Michael Murray, N.D. and Joseph Pizzorno, N.D., The Encyclopedia of Healing Foods (Get the book.)

"The baby formula itself is poison; by microwaving it, it becomes even more toxic. For more information read my newsletter article in the back of the book. 9. Eliminate aspartame and monosodium glutamate. Aspartame goes by NutraSweet®. Both aspartame and MSG are classified as excitotoxins. There are three great books on this subject. Aspartame, Is it Safe? was written by a medical doctor." - Kevin Trudeau, Natural Cures They Don't Want You to Know About (Get the book.) "Irradiating food does cause cancer when eaten. microwaving food does cause cancer when eaten. As a matter of fact, all of these things not only cause cancer, but suppress the body's immune system and make us susceptible to all kinds of diseases. Of course, the manufacturers of these devices deny these allegations. However, even in their own literature they state that there are committees around the world whose CONSENSUS is that these devices appear to be safe! The key is the word "consensus" and the word "appear." When the word consensus is used it means that there are people who disagree." - Kevin Trudeau, Natural Cures They Don't Want You to Know About (Get the book.)
