Has anybody heard that microwaved food can be harmful?

Question

If so, please provide a "realiable" source.

Answer 1

we hear alot of things.. mostly what it is... studies from people who are afraid of real work. so this is how our tax dollars are used.

sure microwave food can be harmful.. so can regular stove cooked food... big deal. these studies mostly are jokes and over half of them are about things we already know. such as.. a good diet is a well balanced diet of fruits and vegetables and drinking water will benefit you... along with eating fast food daily and no exercising can make you obese so on.

you can find a trillion "studies" online in google.com just key in "study for the harms of microwave food"

so on...

microwave food is about as risky as anything technically..... like walking on a sidewalk on a busy highway...

take it as it is... just a study.

most studies i find are jokes.

and thus them being reliable.. well take that with a grain of salt also.

:D

that's why they're called studies...

Answer 2

Microwave energy has a very specific action. It 'excites water molecules' causing them to convert to steam within the food itself.

This specific action may be residual active after the cooking phase within the microwave is complete, i.e., the food may be retaining the photon energy for a brief while after the cooking cycle terminates.

For this reason it is possible to consume food that it still actively cooking and that is the only inherent danger.

You should allow microwaved food to rest in cases where there is the possibility for continued cooking upon completion of the oven cycle to prevent the possibility for oral and/or gastro-esophageal thermal burns.

Answer 3

Microwaving food can "kill" the beneficial nutrients and enzymes. And never microwave in a plastic dish or plastic cover- microwaves drive plastic particles into the food. Just do a google search for the hazards. Nutritionist Gary Null talks about it. So do many others.

Answer 4

Most plastics, including film food wrap and Styrofoam containers, have been shown to migrate from the packaging into microwaved foods. The health consequences of this action have not been quantified. Nonetheless, the easy way to avoid any potential migration of the plastic chemicals into the food is to simply change over to ceramic or glass containers.

Answer 5

No, never. The radiation from the microwave at the instant are not waiting to magically circulate into your food which you're cooking into your physique. Microwaves are risk-free because of the fact they've this type of thick door.
