Microwave cooking is it bad for your health?
Heating baby bottles in a microwave can cause slight changes in the milk. There may be a loss of some vitamins. In expressed breast milk, some protective properties may be destroyed....
The connection to microwaving foods in plastic containers has been known for some time, and in addition to many plastic “microwavable” containers being noted to be carcinogenic.
Due to chemical alterations within food substances, malfunctions occurred within the lymphatic system causing degeneration in the immune system's ability to protect the body against cancerous growth.
Microwave exposure caused significant decreases in the nutritional bio-availability of B complex vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin E and essential minerals.
Ingestion of microwave foods caused a higher percentage of cancerous cells within the blood serum.
Microwaving foods alters their elemental food substances, leading to disorders in the digestive system.
