10 reasons not to use microwaves

The reality is that microwave ovens play an important role when it comes to preparing our food. While for many it is an essential appliance, the truth is that we must take special care when cooking or reheating meats, poultry, fish, and eggs. Our friends at Salud180.com share this information with us. According to the document “Ten Reasons to Get Rid of Your Microwave,” by researcher William P. Kopp, there are reasons to stop cooking in the microwave as follows: 1.- Continuously eating processed food from a microwave causes permanent long-term brain damage due to “short circuits” of electrical impulses in the brain. 2.- The human body cannot metabolize the unknown products created in food prepared to be heated in the microwave. 3.- The production of male and female hormones is altered as a result of continuously eating foods cooked in the microwave. 4.- The effects of microwave food are residual (permanent and long-term) within the human body. 5.- The minerals, vitamins and nutrients of all microwave food are reduced or altered and, consequently, the human body receives little or no benefit. 6.- The minerals in vegetables are altered and become free radical carcinogens when heated in a microwave. 7.- Microwave foods cause the growth of cancerous tumors in the stomach and intestines. This may explain the increasingly frequent cases of colon cancer in the United States and other developed countries. 8.- The prolonged consumption of microwave-heated foods increases cancerous cells in the blood. 9.- The continuous ingestion of microwave food causes deficiencies in the immune system due to alterations in the lymphatic gland and blood plasma. 10.- The consumption of microwave food causes memory loss, lack of concentration, emotional instability, and decreased intelligence. According to specialists, the best option is to cook in a conventional oven, as they are inexpensive, have a fan that distributes heat evenly, and are much safer; however, you are the only one who can decide if you stick with the microwave oven.
