Re: heating food and water

[Guest guest]

you can look at things on many different levels and you can find

studeis to support anything. I would not be going by government

recommendations in matters like this - if we do we will all be lining

up for fluorodated water, vaccines, chemotherapy and agent organge! LOL!

I know that when i read that micrwaved food does not molecularly

represent the same food - ie if you micvowave apotato it changes at

that level and that microwaved food causes the body to mount an immune

attack then that pretty much says it all for me.

even people i know not into natural foods and wholefoods reject

microwave cooking.

we each have to weigh our own choices. and fine tune our intuition to

realise what is right for us.

great that you are exploring all this!

you do have to be careful with baceria on leftovers - probably slightly

more so with animal foods that non animal foods. ohsawa actually

said spoiled rice cant hurt you but hey i would choose fresh and

properly rehated anyday! ;-)

I did a little research on the web and not surprisingly there were

that they're bad. I don't think either side is entirely neutral. The

govt's don't want to hurt the industry without incontrovertable proof

(eg. cigarettes) and I think there might be a tendency for people in

the

"natural food" world to be a little against microwaves ovens going in.

Dr. Weil (who I have a lot of respect for) rejects microwaves

ovens for cooking (prolonged cooking alters protein) but doesn't think

they're bad for reheating, defrausting since times are short. I

certainly wouldn't cook from scratch in one...stuff comes out bad

anyway. I thought the wheat one might have something to do with temp

but when I read the details the water was given time to cool before the

wheat was introducted. I also read about the blood warming incident and

the Swiss study (which they tried to mussel.) The one thing I would say

is it's probably worse to under heat stuff where bacteria isn't killed

off then to reheat in a microwave but certainly using an oven, pan or a

steamer is preferable.

Comments?

Excellent point!! Indeed I am skeptical of the government pronoucements

on the matter that I read.

Well, that says a lot then....if your body is reacting to microwave

food differently than food cooked in more traditional ways it is reason

for great concern.
