Nuking Food

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends/Yogis - - - To avoid nuking food is not just about avoiding death - it is also about quality of life - how you feel & radiate your energy.... and your potential for cancer, etc. Also many people experience skin problems which disappear when they quit nuking their food. In many countries these devices are banned because of their affects on health & food.... which are quite disturbing if you know the facts.... the beauty of the internet is that we can actually access all the facts quite quickly & I am including a small part of some research which will give a clue as to what is really going on when one nukes the food....

 

Carcinogens in microwaved food

In Dr. Lita Lee's book, Health Effects of Microwave Radiation -

Microwave Ovens, and in the March and September 1991 issues of Earthletter,

she stated that every microwave oven leaks electro-magnetic radiation,

harms food, and converts substances cooked in it to dangerous organ-toxic and

carcinogenic products. Further research summarized in this article reveal that

microwave ovens are far more harmful than previously imagined.

The following is a summary of the Russian investigations published by the Atlantis

Raising Educational Center in Portland, Oregon. Carcinogens were formed in

virtually all foods tested. No test food was subjected to more microwaving than

necessary to accomplish the purpose, i.e., cooking, thawing, or heating

to insure sanitary ingestion. Here's a summary of some of the results:

Microwaving

prepared meats sufficiently to insure sanitary ingestion caused formation

of d-Nitrosodienthanolamines, a well-known carcinogen. Microwaving

milk and cereal grains converted some of their amino acids into

carcinogens. Thawing

frozen fruits converted their glucoside and galactoside containing

fractions into carcinogenic substances.Extremely

short exposure of raw, cooked or frozen vegetables converted their plant

alkaloids into carcinogens. Carcinogenic

free radicals were formed in microwaved plants, especially root

vegetables.

Decrease in nutritional value

Russian researchers also reported a marked acceleration of structural

degradation leading to a decreased food value of 60 to 90% in all foods tested.

Among the changes observed were:

Deceased

bio-availability of vitamin B complex, vitamin C, vitamin E, essential

minerals and lipotropics factors in all food tested.Various

kinds of damaged to many plant substances, such as alkaloids, glucosides,

galactosides and nitrilosides. The

degradation of nucleo-proteins in meats.

Microwave sickness is discovered

The Russians did research on thousands of workers who had been exposed to

microwaves during the development of radar in the 1950's. Their research showed

health problems so serious that the Russians set strict limits of 10 microwatts

exposure for workers and one microwatt for civilians.

In Robert O. Becker's book, The Body Electric, he described Russian

research on the health effects of microwave radiation, which they called

"microwave sickness." On page 314, Becker states:

"It's [Microwave sickness]

first signs are low blood pressure and slow pulse. The later and most common

manifestations are chronic excitation of the sympathetic nervous system [stress

syndrome] and high blood pressure. This phase also often includes headache,

dizziness, eye pain, sleeplessness, irritability, anxiety, stomach pain,

nervous tension, inability to concentrate, hair loss, plus an increased incidence

of appendicitis, cataracts, reproductive problems, and cancer. The chronic

symptoms are eventually succeeded by crisis of adrenal exhaustion and ischemic

heart disease [the blockage of coronary arteries and heart attacks]."

According to Dr. Lee, changes are observed in the blood chemistries and the

rates of certain diseases among consumers of microwaved foods. The symptoms

above can easily be caused by the observations shown below. The following is a

sample of these changes:

Lymphatic

disorders were observed, leading to decreased ability to prevent certain

types of cancers.An

increased rate of cancer cell formation was observed in the blood.Increased

rates of stomach and intestinal cancers were observed.Higher

rates of digestive disorders and a gradual breakdown of the systems of

elimination were observed.http://www.allnaturalcures.net/radiation_ovens.htm(This is only a fraction of the article - but gives a good overview)To me that is enough reason not only to avoid them, but to spread the word - ignorance is no bliss when it comes to health. We are given a beautiful gift of life & a healthy body to begin with - it is a beautiful thing to give it the best we can... the reward is even as simple as feeling good after we have eaten.Anand Kaur
