Guest guest Posted December 5, 1999 Report Share Posted December 5, 1999 Hi, I got rid of my Microwave oven months ago. My severely allergic son is on a special diet. Most of his food must be made by me and stored in the freezer. I find that a convection oven works great. I can take it right out of the freezer, and heat it up in no time. It also fits right where my Microwave was! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 9, 2001 Report Share Posted January 9, 2001 Dear Corny, I think the story was covered in Nexus magazine.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2001 Report Share Posted January 9, 2001 >> I can probably dig up more on this story if anyone wants further documentation. << Dear Corny, Bring it on, please. Always open to good information. Although you provided enough to go on with the name of the magazine and author, the name of the Swiss chemical engineer or the title of his study would be helpful. Such people as our whistleblowing chemical engineer are heroes and should be awarded medals and advancement, not banished from the halls of their profession. Thanks so much for your concise indictment of a harmful technology. It's just the kind of articulate, non-technical treatment of the issue that my microwave-using family needs to see.

The story was in " True Health " magazine by Tom Valentine (a very good source of nutritional info, in general). He reported on the study done in Switzerland by a chemical engineer associated with a Swiss university (if I recall correctly).

The radiation caused significant and novel changes to the molecular structure of any and all substances in the oven. Harmful radiolytic by-products were also produced.

As far as I know, there has never been another unbiased study of the effects of microwave radiation on food. I had avoided using microwave ovens before learning of this study, having been naturally leery of irradiating my food. Since reading it, I have never used such a device and have often wondered if I am the only biped in the " civilized " world that has not " thrown something in the microwave!? " That's not to say that I haven't eaten microwaved foods prepared by others (unavoidable!) I can probably dig up more on this story if anyone wants further documentation.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2003 Report Share Posted May 16, 2003 > As long as we're discussing eggs, I thought I should mention that > unlike many foods, eggs are very microwave friendly. -gts A guy I used to work with was out of work for at least a week (maybe longer, it was a long time ago) with severe burns on his face. He had broken an egg onto a dish (yolk intact) and put it into the microwave. Upon opening the microwave a short while later to retrieve his egg, the yoke exploded in his face. I don't know if he poked it with a fork or if it exploded apparently spontaneously. He was in pretty bad shape for a while. A cautionary tale. Al [Yes it's not a good idea to microwave eggs with the yolk intact. I always scramble them first and if using a bowl or cup I cover tightly with a paper towel to avoid making a mess inside my microwave. Also I have a plastic microwave omelet dish purchased from Walmart that snaps closed, exactly to prevent that sort of mishap. -gts] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 > Can anybody point me to info about how microwaves escape from microwave > ovens? I am presuming it is mostly through the glass? An alternative to microwave ovens are " FIR " (far infrared) ovens -- might even actually be good for you if there is leakage with this type of oven! :-) http://www.healthilluminationproducts.com/product/20322 Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 I've always heard that the leakage occurs around the edge of the door, and that the door seal worsens over time from having been opened and closed so frequently. You should not buy a used one for this reason and for us, of course, we should simply avoid them altogether or whenever possible.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Here is a good article on microwave oven leakage written by a physicist: http://www.peterdolph.com/2009/08/will-microwave-radiation-give-you_19.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
