It’s a known fact that using microwave to heat up food has negative effects on the human body. Listen to Dr. Group explain the dangers of using microwaves to heat up your food. For more info visit www.ghchealth.com
They studied the effect that microwaved food had on eight individuals, by taking blood samples immediately after eating. They found that after eating microwaved food, hemoglobin levels decreased. “These results show anaemic tendencies. The situation became even more pronounced during the second month of the study”.
Who knows what results they would have found if they had studied people who ate microwaved food for a year or more? put real science to work you eat safe microwave food for a year.
@jasonlpsmith My mistake…radiation that your “eating” is just something I don’t do anymore…I meant that is what I consider bad..
@theCosmicQueen. I couldn’t find it in the e-journal database that my university subscribes to (however it only goes back to 1992, Iss 4, pp. 389-568). Do you have a copy of the actual paper? If you have it I would like to see it. Thanks.
@hollisprophet. Electromagnetic radiation is essential to almost all life on Earth. The sun supplies Earth with electromagnetic radiation in the form of visible light, infra-red and ultra-violet. Have a look at the Wikipedia article for Sunlight, particularly look at the section Life on Earth. How did you come to the conclusion that “Radiation is bad… period!”?
I really don’t believe any of this bullshit trying to get ppl to continue using microwaves even though we know its not safe to use. Radiation is bad…period!
The April 1992 Journal of Pediatrics reported that researchers at the Stanford University Medical Center discovered that the changes in human breast milk that was microwaved just enough to warm it included the destruction of 98% of its immunogloban-A antibodies and
96% of its liposome activity (which inhibits bacterial infections). u can’t touch this, u industry whore.
well, one of the most active people exposing radiation on youtube, is an ISRAELI or at least Hebrew speaking Jew. so much for your dissing the opponents of excess RF radiation as if they were a bunch of antisemites! gotcha. see noradblog, and by the way, one of his websites is in hebrew!
THANKS!!! enjoyed it!
people just please go look up the electromagnetic radiation. Stop being stupid. Not all radiation is dangerous. Your bodies release infrared radiation all the time. and that is not dangerous. Microwaves are longer in wavelength and have less energy that infrared, so how can they hurt us?
if you have neighbour who has giant antenna and tower , they are probably HAM radio operator, they radiate more power than Microwave Oven does, 1500 watts spreading around from 60 feet tower and huge antenna. vs, 800 watts in confined metal shield box.
First of all the Jewish bankers did probably kill more people than anyother person. They are behind hitler, Stalin, mao, other tyrannicle leaders. And they started the cancer, aids, many more epidemics. They also put us all in prison for weed! I could go on for 2 pages. You don’t know history. Look it up!
One thing I’d like to add: Heating 1 ration of food with a 800W microwave for 2 minutes will use 800 * 2 / 60 = 27 kilo watt hours. Heating the same ration with a typical conventional 21cm 2300W diameter cooker for 5 minutes will use 2300 * 5 / 60 = 192 kilowatthours. This is over 7 times more. Guess how many (nuclear) power plants could be saved, if not so many people were reluctant with microwaves…
@Sailor757SWE Science is a process. A process can’t be corrupt. Sure there could be companies out there that play a game of selective information, but that in itself has nothing to do with science.
Science isn’t anyone’s enemy either. What you do with information is another matter.
There exists no scientific information that microwaved water (at normal room temperatures) is harmful to plants in any way. That’s not “corrupt”, that’s just information.
@a1mint Lets say someone shoots you between the eyes and you die, and that was only a test.. Then the intelligent rest of us would understand that your where wrong about one test not proving anything.
Besides, the idea that “one test shouldnt count” is simply the way science has been setup so that the industry can control whats true. You see, they just finance some more biased experioments until they “own” the “truth”. Science is massively corrupted and harmful today.
@aquariussphere Science is now thoroughly corrupted due to industry manipulatioon, so the anti-science “fad” is well founded.
@colourmegone Have you heard about slavery? People who dont want do work themselves make other people do it for them.. Thats why your alowed to live. As a slave.
@PandaMagicFTW Fortunately its not me who is in need of help
@Sailor757SWE Believe what you want. You can’t be helped.
@Sailor757SWE Who is more credible? I think it all depends on how credible the individual source is. There have been many frauds exposed from sources that were claiming to be “scientific”, and there have also been many individual people who have correctly made bold claims against “science” (Galileo for example). Frankly I wouldn’t trust either source unless there are repeated experiments and a lot of widespread agreement. I haven’t heard many people say that microwaving water changes it.
@PandaMagicFTW Remarks about stupidity etc usually points to maturity issues, but its no big deal for me.. You see, either my statement is correct or it is not. We both agree that the protein structure in food is changed by the microwave radiation. You say that food is changed in the same way on a normal stove but this is incorrect. For example, we can all see that there is no browning effect on food cooked in a microowen. I maintain my position, microwaves ruins the foodvalue.
@Sailor757SWE Sorry, not trying to be rude or anything, but your reply is pretty stupid. Your are correct only on one thing, microwaves change the molecular structure of proteins in food. However, it does not make them toxic, the molecular structure changes in the same way as when you cook on a stove. Cooking food is the process of these molecular structures being changed. In no way does it become carcinogenic or pathogenic. Microwaves are just a frequency of waves that happen to heat up water.
@Kuploosh Looks like we have the same opinion after all.
Meaning that *nothing* should be accepted blindly, neither from the “business as usual science” nor from a random person. But Should we always put more trust in the scientific results selected by the industrial controlled establishment than from however credible random persons? Who is more credible in your opinion?
Okay so i have a Geiger counter.. I tested my computer and my router my cellphone and wirelessphone AND MY MICROWAVE. ALL GIVING OFF VERY LITTLE RADIATION THE NEEDLE BARLEY MOVED. IT WAS AT 0.5 AND 3.6 IS THE HIGHEST READING IT CAN GO.
In ten or twenty years hopefully all the trolls who like to make negative comments while trusting in their degrees and pragmatic “wisdom” will realize that they were wrong all along and have their cynical world come down on them. We DO live in a world of environmental pollutants that has taken on a whole new spectrum in the last two decades! Just sayin…
hush, idiot… hush.
also, turn off all your lights in your house, and never let your children go outside or ever see any light because they will turn into radiated pile of garbage like the rest of us corrupted ionized bastards.
I shall never raise my voice in a sententious manner again for fear of sounding like this guy.
@violetember “So what is the name for scientists who “deny” evolution for scientific reason & not religious reasons?” What is the name of a coconut that is made only of gas? There is none. There’s no science behind denial of evolution. It’s been reproduced in the laboratory to the species and chromosome number change level. The fossils are undeniable, as is the continuum of DNA change seen in our genomes. By definition a “scientist” who denies evolution is ignoring that i.e. = IGNORANT.
@Enginmaster So what is the name for scientists who “deny” evolution for scientific reason & not religious reasons? They hold degrees & get them by learning what is taught. So they can’t logically be called ignorant for dissagreeing with it. Evo’s love calling non-evo’s ignorant, even if the non-evo knows more about the theories of evolution than they do. It always boils down to…”if you don’t believe, then you’re ignorant. Even when they are clearly NOT ignorant. I’m bored to by the way.
lol enjoy your tv dinners fatties
@LedWilde Yes! I come out of nowhere to argue. It’s fun. I do it all the time for young earth creationists, homeopaths, other religious nutters etc. Pseudoscience is fun to make fun of. Yes, bored. It’s a nice 3 day weekend, and I like to relax by having some friendly hilarous conversations on youtube. Have you met Neal Adams and his expanding earth yet? Most hilarious video set ever. I’m saying evo denial is equal to stupidity of global warming denial. CO2 goes up, temperature goes up
@Enginmaster You come out of nowhere to argue? Are you bored or something? Fine then but you are making no sense. For one, I never said I don’t believe in evolution. How do you get evolution out of me saying microwaves are crap or from me saying I don’t believe global warming? Actually, I don’t believe man causes the Earth to heat up is what I should have said. Anyway, pick a debate here and maybe I’ll consider it.
@LedWilde You haven’t tried the right food then. Global warming has been measured, dude. You just stated the equivalent of “I don’t believe in the evolution theory” *hock spit* Heat does the same thing to food, regardless of its source. It’s just the intensity that matters.
@Enginmaster No, I’m not actually. And don’t buy into “Global Warming” either in case you’re wondering. I just think microwaves are crap really. Not good for cooking food. At least taste wise.
@LedWilde You’re of the opinion that gamma rays, neutron radiation, microwave radiation, and infrared radiation are all the same, aren’t you?
ahhh. So… microwaves are dangerous. But infrared waves? Those are ok? Altering ALL the nutrients?! rofl! I mean seriously…has this guy tried caramel? Caramel is when infrared waves and other heat transmission heat up the sugar til it “alters all the nutrients” Something tells me this speaker regards microwave food as bad for you, but copious amount of smoked pot as totally ok to take into his lungs. Charred foods give you a higher rate of cancer dude, and that’s pan-cooking.
What’s wrong with switching to a toaster oven just to be safe? He’s not doing this to be a douche, just voicing an opinion.
