Guest guest Posted February 2, 2000 Report Share Posted February 2, 2000 Dear all, I have long chucked out my mucrowave but have found a site that gives the reason why...have a look at it....... < http://www.health.microworld.com/html/microwave.html> " Normal heating of food occurs when heat goes from the outside to the inside. Microwaves work just the opposite. The waves go to the inside and then move outward. The food molecules are hit by the electromagnetic radiation and forced to reverse polarity up to 100 million times a second. That is, the molecules start spinning. This tears them apart and sometimes rearranges them into toxic substances that cause many allergic responses. It is this friction which produces the heat which `cooks' the food. Unfortunately, this violent force also rips apart and deforms the molecular structure of the food. It is no longer `food' - it just looks as though it is. " This site also outlines the dangers of warming baby's bottles in microwaves. Much love Penny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
