Title: microwave food kould kill you
Post by: Marty Champions on July 27, 2006, 07:11:11 PM
did you know that if you microwave water then let it cool then feed it to a plant it dies. something to do with radiation or something else. i remember hearing about a girl that did a science project to prove this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

why don't you go try the experiment on yourself, if it doesn't kill you just shoot yourself.

I already took care of this subject months ago by posting a multi page report that couldn't fit in one post all because somone said to prove to them that microwaving can have long term health effects for various reasons. Apparently someone's microwave killed itself moments after reading the post ;D

Damn! I got rid of my microwave a couple years ago because somebody told be that there is a device so radioactive inside the microwave that when you touch it, it can kill you.

Avoid Food Cooked at High Temperatures

Diabetics were studied to assess the difference between consuming a diet high in foods cooked at higher temperatures compared with foods cooked at lower temperatures. After six weeks, diabetics consuming the foods cooked at lower temperatures lost weight, and their blood glucose levels dropped. The group eating foods cooked at higher temperatures did not lose weight and had increased blood glucose levels. The number of calories and amounts of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats consumed were the same in both groups (Vlassara et al 2002).

Foods cooked at high temperature were fried, barbecued, broiled, or cooked in the microwave. While the worst culprits in the study were animal products, any food exposed to extreme high heat can scorch the natural sugars in food and create fat-inducing toxins. Foods often cooked in this way include many prepackaged foods that have been preserved, pasteurized, homogenized, or refined, such as white flour, cake mixes, dried milk, dried eggs, dairy products including pasteurized milk, and canned or frozen precooked meals (Vlassara et al 2002).

While it may be impossible to totally avoid foods cooked at high temperatures, it is possible to reduce exposure by changing the way food is prepared. Consider steaming, boiling, poaching, stewing, stir-frying, or using a slow cooker. These methods not only cook foods with a lower amount of heat, but they create more moisture during the cooking process. Water or moisture can help delay toxic reactions associated with higher-temperature cooking. Marinating foods in olive oil, cider vinegar, garlic, mustard, lemon juice, and dry wines can also help. Finally, consider making small dietary changes by adding more fresh fruits and raw and steamed vegetables to your diet.

In addition, eating foods cooked at lower temperatures was found to reduce the levels of other potentially harmful substances in the blood, including LDL, C-reactive protein, and pro-inflammatory cytokines. A six-week diet cooked at low temperatures caused a 33 percent reduction of LDL, while a diet cooked at high temperatures increased LDL by 32 percent (Vlassara et al 2002).

This subject is so complicated I dont even know where to start explaining it.

But one of the most importent things to know is that radiation effects diffrent matters VERY diffrently.
As you all know microwaves are tuned to make thier radiation warm water the best.

This means water will be absorb all the energy the microwave shoots at it.Now the real question is what frequancy the radiation is emited out of the water and what is the frequancy the flower absord.

My guess its the same and thats why it was killed,but that means nothing regarding any other matter out there.

If anyone of you ever studied the basics of quantom physics you know what Im talking about.

To be honest WATER will kill you , if you did a survey on humans you would find that every human has drunk water at least once in there life's and all those humans die or will die, thus water being the common denominator in the cause of death !!!! :-\

  Actually, microwave technology was given to the U.S Government, in the 1960's, by grey aliens from Alpha Centauri. It was originally designed for use in an integrated particle beam weapons system, which utilzed proton dislocations to "dent" the eletronegativity of the target, thus causing immediate desintegration. Unfortunately, the Government sold out the secret to private industries, so as to help finance their military research. So, every time you utilize a microwave oven, you're using a grey alien technology that was never designed to be utilized by human beings, let alone for civilian purposes!

  Now, on the subject of irradiation. There is a a marked differecne between radiation and irradiation. Just because something was irradiated it does not follow that it is radioactive. If you left meat in the presence of Plutonium or Cesium, for a few hours, it would become dry and putrid; yet, the meat itself would not become radioactive! Radioactivity refers to a particular property that certain  highly unstable elements, which are high-up on the periodic table, have of stabilizing themselves by stealing an electron from organic organisms. This causes a chain reaction which leads to cancer and dramatically accelerated aging. Irradiating foods does not cause that: this is caused by being exposed to radioactivity yourself - not the food. Now, microwaving is dangerous because there is no evidence that the metalic net inside the oven protects the human being from being "irradiated" himself! :o

Always spend that time you are standing directly in front of your microwave waiting for your food to cook to take care of any important cellphone conversations that you need to get out of the way because when your food is done you are going to be too busy sitting as close as possible to the TV to think about anything else as you shovel radioactive goop into your deservedly irradiated pie-hole.  Enjoy!

You sound like a total nutcase. If this post isn't a joke, you are a very ill person in need of professional help.

Microwaves are simply electromagnetic waves with a lower frequency than visible light. They have NOTHING to do with nuclear radiation. Microwave cooking is actually safer than regular cooking because it heats the food uniformly, eliminating cold spots where bacteria can survive.

1. Microwaves have a HIGHER wavelength than visible light (can be up to a foot long, actually).... check out the elecromagnetic spectrum..... this has nothing to do with frequency.

2. The radiation produced by a microwave oven is non-ionizing (not enough energy to remove an electron from an aton or molecule). As such, it does not have the cancer risks associated with ionizing radiation such as X-rays, ultraviolet light, and nuclear radioactive decay....

Stick to playing with your Barbie dolls, little girl, because you don't know shit about physics. Microwaves have a higher wavelength and a lower frequency than visible light. The electromagnetic spectrum has everything to do with frequency. The wavelength of an electromagnetic wave is inversely proportional to its frequency. This is the kind of stuff we learn in high school science class.
