If the microwave oven cooked water was used to germinate seeds and the seeds did not sprout then humans could have fertility problems also.

That was a good experiment http://greenprophet.com/2009/03/04/7305/microwa... with good intentions but it was only able to prove that seeds are able to sprout in microwaved water. Isn't it a little like, an newborn infant being alive after going 2 days without milk? We have abandoned babies in our country, still alive after 2 days (when found). In fact, all living cells are capable of mutating AND then surviving in toxic environment. The experiment, unfortunately, proved little (to nothing) about dangers/side-effects of microwaved water.Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture mentioned that,"Clear disadvantages were detected when broccoli was microwaved, namely high losses of flavonoids (97%), sinapic acid derivatives (74%) and caffeoyl-quinic acid derivatives (87%)."Thank you for this topic by the way. A lot of info to learn and explore.

You have my sentiments exactly! A relative gave me their old one & I never wanted to use it. Tried it several times but my inner self wanted to get rid of it…and voila, it has been thrown out a long time ago! We need to get BACK TO BASICS & EAT like normal people USED to do ! There is MORE to life..than SPEED. Use a slow cooker. It will be done when you are home. Use a pressure cooker or oven. //Be careful, most frozen foods are radiated I was told! Guess it has to be organic. Save in other ways! FRESH IS BEST. Canned foods have problems now also & plastics.It never ends! READ LABELS & BE AWARE!

I am more confused about this issue than ever. However, when I first became aware that there were/might be certain health risks in the use of microwaves, I searched the web and found a lot of negative articles, including those based on scientific research. However, I did NOT come across any conclusive evidence as to memory loss, cancers and across the board loss of all nutrients. What I did learn (and I’m still confused) was that it is probably not too sanguine to process your vegetables with microwaves. So, I’ve gone back to steaming, stirfrying and mostly serving up raw produce.

Sigh! I certainly wish there were something more definitive. But, in the meanwhile, caution is probably the way to go…and keep reading and being alert.

Here’s the article: http://www.naturalnews.com/023103.html

No references to medical studies are provided. That bit about seeds is easy enough to check. I’ll let you know the results. But then it’ll by my word against her.
Microwaves use signigicantly less energy than conventional cooking, and preserve nutrients. We should be sure of our facts before dismissing them as unsafe.

Is it possible that radiation may leak from defective microwave ovens into the room and how can one become aware of this leakage?
