Is it harmful to warm up food in a microwave oven?

How many years there is a microwave oven, as much and the question is being asked about whether it is harmful to heat food in a microwave oven. Official statements and a law prohibiting the use of microwave ovens are not available. Producers in the voice say that it is not dangerous (but will they say otherwise?), And scientists say that it is dangerous and they provide their research.

Scientific research

Let's present to your attention scientific facts.

Under the influence of microwaves there is a change in polarity in each molecule of the product, which in turn leads to its deformation. In addition, there are changes in amino acids in toxic forms.

Swiss scholars approached this issue very seriously. They got 8 volunteers. Four of them ate for 5 days raw milk, vegetables, thawed naturally, pasteurized milk and vegetables in ready-made form. The second group of 4 people ate the same foods, only cooked or heated by microwaves.

Each person was taken for analysis of blood before each usual meal for them, and then after taking the tested products at regular intervals. The results were disappointing. In a study of a group of people who ate hot food in a microwave oven, scientists found a significant change in their blood composition: increased cholesterol and decreased hemoglobin, and the number of lymphocytes increased.

These results clearly demonstrated that deformation and destruction occur with food molecules. Under the influence of microwave rays, the existing compounds are transformed into completely new ones, previously unknown and conventionally called radiolytic ones.

Russian research

Russian scientists have proved that under the influence of electromagnetic radiation emanating from a microwave oven, in all foods the nutritional value is reduced by more than 2 times, and carcinogens are also formed.

  1. Even with a slight influence of electromagnetic radiation on raw, thawed or cooked vegetables and fruits, they form carcinogens formed from alkaloids.
  2. Electromagnetic processing of meat is accompanied by the formation of a carcinogen of nitrosodimethylamine.
  3. Defrosting products also does not go through without changes - the presence of galactosides and glycosides is provided.
  4. When processing cereals and milk, as well as products from them, amino acids change into carcinogenic substances.

Consequences of carcinogenic effects

After eating foods with this type of carcinogen, severe consequences occur, which prove that cooking and heating in a microwave oven is harmful.

Changes in the lymphatic system, digestive system disorders, increased risk of cancer cells in the blood serum, destruction of the functions of the digestive system. In addition, there are radicals, which also lead to the onset of cancer. This is an incomplete list of destructive actions.

Yes, the microwave is very comfortable: a few seconds and the dish is warmed up. But is this simplicity and convenience of your health and your seven worth? After all, health is one and you can not buy it for money.
