The Harmful, and Surprising Effects of the MICROWAVE

Microwaving does several undesirable things: first and foremost it negates from the idea of raw, wholesome foods; as well it has MANY adverse health effects.
Blance and Hertel (1991), confirmed that microwave cooking significantly changed food nutrients. They studied the effect that microwaved food had on 8 individuals, by taking samples immediately after eating. They found that after eating microwaved food, hemoglobin levels decreased- the results showing anaemic tendencies in these individuals- the results became more pronounced during the second month of study: consider the effects of a lifetime worth of microwaving.

The violent changes to the food molecules also form new life forms called “Radiolytic Compounds”. These are mutations that are unknown to the natural world- this causes a deterioration in your blood and immune system. In addition, they found that the number of leucocytes increases after eating microwaved food, something which is often a sign of highly harmful effects, such as poisoning.

Eating microwaved food also causes cholesterol levels to increase. In Hertel’s study, cholesterol markers increased rapidly after the consumption of microwaved vegetables- a cholesterol-free source.

The risks associated with eating microwaved food doesn’t stop with the food itself. Standing in front of a microwave is also highly damaging to health. Consider this- a single celled organism, like an egg, will explode within 30 seconds when microwaved- we ourselves are made up of trillions of cells. Consider the number of cells are getting damaged by standing around your microwave as your food warms for 5-10 minutes.

The body cannot find its way back into balance when its electrical pathways are being altered or blocked. The first step is to remove the microwave from the home entirely in order to start healing.

My alternatives to microwaving:
o replace the microwave with a wok to re-heat food
o keep food warm on a plate by putting a saucepan lid over top
o put a plate of food on a simmering saucepan of water
o incorporate more meals which do not require heat- RAW food!
