The Case Against Microwaving

The case against microwaving begins with a reproducible scientific study conducted by a ten year old for a science fair. The child bought two house plants from the same store at the same time. They were clippings from the same plant, she placed them in the same size plastic pot, in the same potting soil; similar in every possible way. The child brought them home in the same bag and placed them beside each other on the same shelf in her house.

One plant was watered with purified water. One plant was watered with microwaved tap water. Even before potting the plant in the microwaved water showed signs of distress. Within nine days, the plant watered with microwaved tap water was dead. Earth’s organisms, of which you are one, are not designed to ingest microwaved nutrients. Water is an important nutrient for you, for me and especially for plants.

Microwaving ruptures the cell walls of the foods that are cooked in them. To prove this, put a whole egg in a microwave. Cook it for 30-60 seconds. Watch the cell walls rupture. An egg is a complete single cell. What happens to the egg happens to all the cells in the food you cook in the microwave. When you chew food, you may rupture the cell walls of a few of the nutrients in your meal, but for the most part you simply separate the cells. Your body was designed over millennia to ingest and digest whole cells. It has no idea what to do with the ruptured cells that are fed to it from microwave cooking. In Russia, the microwave is considered so dangerous it has been banned from manufacture or sale.

But, you say, I have eaten microwaved food for years. My response is that it will take you a bit longer to feel the effects of microwave cooking than it took the more vulnerable plants. Most of today’s major diseases are diseases of malnutrition. Microwaving contributes to malnutrition. Most people whose organs are finally protesting against the terrible food and the worse cooking methods in our society blame the organs. They don’t look at the cooking methods or the de-neutralization of the foods they are ingesting (I’ll cover the unhealthy foods produced by big-Agra in another blog or two).

My suggestion is either throw your microwave out or use it to store foods you don’t want the dog or cat to eat before you serve it. Don’t cook your food in it.
