Thread: Do NOT Use The Microwave

Blah blah blah.........theres no way I will ever stop. I cant those damn hot dogs wont be good cold. And I dont know how to run a stove........

Use a toaster oven, it even tastes better. Won't come out all soggy.

The funds just arent there.........urgh. Na just kidding. I have heard the effects on microwaves for years now.

ABSOLUTE BULL

Once again you've managed to spout more crap.

"Radiation, as defined by physics terminology, is "the electromagnetic waves emitted by the atoms and molecules of a radioactive substance as a result of nuclear decay." Radiation causes ionization, which is what occurs when a neutral atom gains or loses electrons. In simpler terms, a microwave oven decays and changes the molecular structure of the food by the process of radiation. Had the manufacturers accurately called them "radiation ovens", it's doubtful they would have ever sold one, but that's exactly what a microwave oven is."

HOW THE HELL DOES A PIECE OF MACHINERY THAT HAS NO RADIOACTIVE SUBSTANCES IN IT CREATE RADIATION???

Ill tell you one piece of household machinery that DOES contain radioactive material, that I guarantee you wont bitch about.

YOUR SMOKE ALARM. YEAH, guess how most smoke alarms work? THEY USE RADIATION TO KEEP YOU FROM DYING. But, here's a magic trick that Ill tell you, the radiation in it is so weak that all the energy it creates can be blocked by a whisp of smoke. It breaks the connection between output (being the Americum-241 lump) and the reciever, an alpha particle detector.

And just in case you were wondering, the next most dangerous radiation particle, the infamous BETA radiation, IS SO WEAK IT CAN BE STOPPED BY A SINGLE SHEET OF PAPER! Sounds real damn scary to me.

Oh yeah, here's another gaping hole in this absolute crap-factory that is your latest argument

"Wavelength determines the type of radiation, i.e. radio, X-ray, ultraviolet, visible, infrared, etc."

Also included in this list is SOUND. Yeah, REAL DANGEROUS RADIATION THERE. Apparantly, all energy is dangerous radiation according to your little friends at herbalhealing.com. So that means that to avoid all chances of being harmed, I should avoid all forms of energy. But, that means not eating (chemical). It also means not going out where any light can hit me (visible), and not moving so I dont create kinetic or sonic energy. It also means shutting down my brain, so it doesnt fire any dangerous impulses (electrical). But you seem to have done this already, you're one step ahead of the game!

Any two-bit moron who didnt sleep the entirety of High School level basic Chemistry (that being me, I got a b and I know this shit) can tell his ass from a hat in this subject. Id go on, but I have better things to do, like take a crap.

I've been microwaveing for years and im ok!

Don't have one don't use one......food taste like shit that is cooked in a microwave.

Those are credible sources?

How bout some peer-reviewed studies? Each fear-mongering website backs up their claims with other fear mongering websites. How is that credible? Where's the data?

I've seen a few studies that do suggest microwaving vegetables inactivate some of their beneficial properties.....but cooking veggies in general (any heating method) had that effect. Microwaving milk isn't a great idea but it does offer a quick form of pasteurization as microwaving reduces bacteria and pathogens. So that heating method has beneficial properties. I don't buy that they're bad until I see more scientific proof of it.

I prefer raw veggies anyways.

"Radiation, ...

While i agree with your position, your physics is wrong. Im only going to address two points...the radiation in microwave ovens is EM electromagnetic, ie photons, this is different than nuclei decay or the weak nuclear force discussed in the article. Microwaves dont 'decay' atoms, otherwise you would be converting from element to element as the neutron proton ratio changed.

I think most of us know how they work. The photons excite the water molecules increasing energy which is just an increase in temp.

Second point, sound is not radiation. It is simple a oscillation of a medium, like ripples in a pond. It can not travel through a vacuum, space, like em radiation does.

Food does taste better cooked normally though

We don't care about taste why do you think we bodybuild?We have no regard for taste of food

E.g cold chicken breast,protein shake,cottage cheese and egg whites

yeah, i know.

The only thing I really use the microwave for anyway is cooking sweet potatoes. I cook all my meat on the George Foreman.

I think the last 3 taste great though!

Put on your tinfoil hats everybody, quick before the microwaves in the air destroy your brain.....watch out UHF wave coming through, grab your surf board and ride or or you'll drown in its radiation!!!!1

Watch out your wireless lan is cooking you from the inside out!!!


# 2400–2483.5 MHz: ISM, IEEE 802.11, 802.11b, 802.11g Wireless LAN
# around 2450 MHz: Microwave oven

What if I microwave my protein?

LMAO!

everything can harmyou. you can get cancer from being in the sun.


and coolking egg whites in the microwave is bomb...cuz you don't have to use oil like a frying pan.

like 5 calories worth

i think 911 went down completely the wrong path with this microwave thing,it dosn't give you radiation it does however destroy about 90% of antioxidants in vegetables etc

• 97 percent of flavonoids
• 74 percent of sinapics
• 87 percent of caffeoyl-quinic derivatives

By far the best method is too steam but who wants too play about setting up a steamer

Micowaving food destroys a lot of the vitamins, and problably some of the protien and takes away the 'life force'.

Also the sun is good for you, it can cure disease and all that. That's why people who spend lots of time in the sun are really healthy, but of course you don't wanna get sun burned.
