(03-04-11) Ninety percent of homes contain this health risk
by Shona Botes
(NaturalNews) With modern society being so rushed, there is often little to no
time at the end of the day to prepare nutritious meals for our families.
Because of their super fast cooking times, microwaves have taken the world by
storm. They may be cheap to purchase, but your health will pay the biggest
price of all if you use this appliance to prepare or even heat meals. Because
of the process used to heat and cook food in microwaves, they have been linked
to cancer, as well as other nutrient deficiencies in society today.
The process of causing water molecules in the food to resonate at extremely
high frequencies and to convert to steam actually causes the chemical structure
of the food to change. This causes food to lose almost 100% of its nutritional
value, and it alters the taste completely.
Using a microwave to warm baby formula or breast milk is also a bad idea
because it destroys almost all of the natural nutrients and goodness found in
breast milk, and it also converts trans-amino acids to biologically inactive
(synthetic) cis-isomers. It destroys antibodies and bacteria-digesting enzymes
that naturally occur in breast milk. An amino acid known as L-proline converts
to d-isomer, which is both neuro- and nephrotoxic (causes nervous system and
kidney damage).
Our bodies cannot break down the foreign by-products which are created when
food is microwaved. Nutrients and vitamins in the food are either severely
altered or even destroyed completely, rendering the food void of any
nutritional value. Food prepared in microwaves has also been known to cause
intestinal and stomach tumours. Cancerous cells in the blood have also shown a
remarkable increase in those who consume microwaved food on a regular basis.
Even thawing foods out in a microwave is dangerous, as it leads to the
formation of carcinogenic substances in the food.
Chemical products from plastic, Styrofoam and even paper food containers are
known to leech into food when they are microwaved in these containers. BPA is
one of the main culprits, which causes hormonal imbalances, lowered sperm count
in men and various forms of cancer.
Other side effects of consuming foods prepared in a microwave include memory
loss, emotional instability, long-term brain damage, a severely weakened immune
system, altered male and female hormone production and decreased levels of
intelligence.
A recent study has also shown that microwave frequency radiation affects the
heart, causing symptoms such as chest pains and irregular heartbeat rhythms.
Those regularly using microwaves have been known to experience a host of
symptoms such as swollen lymph nodes, headaches, dizziness, nausea, vision
problems, frequent urination and extreme thirst, night sweats, insomnia,
appetite loss and other sleep disturbances. Increased cholesterol levels,
decreased haemoglobin levels and a decrease in both red and white blood cell
levels have also been reported.
