“Microwaves just heat up your food. I dont think it does anything wrong….”

WRONG.

SINCE I WAS KID I used microwaves to heat up basically everything. From popcorn or to Bacon, everything. But since last year I’ve been using microwaves very minimally now. I write this so you can know the pros and cons of microwaves.

Microwaves use radiation to heat up food, and it has also has been linked to cause CANCER.  It was actually an accident how the microwave was discovered. one thought of cooking food with microwaves until the 1940s, when a self-taught engineer named Percy Spencer was building radar equipment in a lab, and noticed that a chocolate bar he had in his pocket started to melt. He had been building magnetrons, and realized that microwaves can be directed at food to heat it up rapidly. He tested this by poping popcorn and exploding an egg.

….You can compare this to Chemotherapy. Cancer patients going and having radiation performed on them. Do you actually think thats healthy? Much less eating foods that you heat up with radiation? 

Should you use microwaves you should NEVER microwave plastics.  This contaminates the food due to the toxicity of the plastics. Another reason for this is that all plastics are capable of leeching BIOACTIVE CHEMICALS INTO THE FOOD, and this effect is worsened when the foods are heated. If your food is in a plastic container, be sure to transfer it to a microwave safe dish before heating it.

“Another problem with microwave ovens is that carcinogenic toxins can leach out of your plastic and paper containers/covers, and into your food…Microwaving fatty foods in plastic containers leads to the release of dioxins (known carcinogens) and other toxins into your food.”

….NOT EVERYTHING IS BAD about microwaves, but don’t depend on them. Try to at least cover everything you put in there, with something glass or something durable so it covers most of the carcinogens getting into your food.

The FDA claims that the most common health hazard of microwave ovens revolves around burns from hot food, splattering grease, or steam. The greatest dangers with microwaves are from uneven cooking, exploding/splattering, and the use of plastic containers and plastic wrap transferring plastic molecules into food……………………

….

DEFINITELY NOT SAYING you should stop using microwaves but like anything you have to use it consciously and responsibly. NOBODY wants those poisons into their body. If anything just cover your food, try to use your oven more as well. That’s ALL. Preserve you BODY. Take care of it. YOUR BODY IS A TEMPLE. Treat it right. Everyone wants to live a long healthy life, this is ONE good way to start.

THIS IS ESSENTIAL, FOLKS…….

….IN THESE IMPORTANT TIMES, we have to eat right, diet is everything. EXERCISE. ALL THE TIME. Watch what you eat…..and be careful how you HEAT IT UP.
