microwaved food is not good for health.

especially the radiation.

simple google "microwaved food dangers" smile.gif
don't eat microwave food too often.

once you stop the microwave, radiation gone, none is left on your food

I was told by my mother. She saw this news regarding bad of microwave on newspaper lol hmm.gif

I thought information from newspaper was quite reliable?  hmm.gif

ive done that in lab and i remember there is a HK show that had debunked this myth too

when the microwave is running, the radiation is high, once you stop it, even if you put the detector at the middle of the microwave or cucuk into your food, the reading is just normal background radiation reading

**i managed to find the video, its in 學是學非 season 1 EP 3

Amount of radiation in food is not the matter here. How about the assertions in the following article?

Questions on his credibility aside, was wondering if any of the assertions / sources quoted in his article have been refuted?

if you're worry about the radiation when operating it, just put a timer then go to your living room, but most of the microwave complies with the FDA law that it needs to operate under a certain level of radiation

if you're worry about it breaking bonds and changing chemical structures/ bonding of the compound in the food, well, grilling the meats also produces heterocyclic amines which can cause cancer, unless you decided to cook them at a particular temperature which the meats veges and eggs is gon taste like sweat.gif the carcinogens which produced from microwaving food are all in the juices, which later gets drained out from the meat, so basically its less nutritious but also less dangerous

well i understand that all the microwaved food is dehydrated, taste like shit, but water molecule still turns into vapor in any form of cooking/ heating, its just diff amount, with microwaving, its too dry to taste good biggrin.gif

so i just got a heat convection oven which cooks as fast( i think even faster) and taste better laugh.gif it just cycles hot air and heats up the food

just in short, microwaved food is not dangerous, its just slightly less nutritious laugh.gif (considering you dont put it in plastic container then proceed to microwave it)

We know steaming is the safest and also retain the most nutrients, assuming not using cookware like aluminium or stainless steel that can easily leach heavy metals. This is followed by stir-frying, and then by deep frying.

So for health purposes, steaming > stir frying > deep frying > barbecuing / microwave (altered compounds of microwaved food vs carcinogens in bbq) ?

nutrition wise yeah

but i cant imagine eating it everyday laugh.gif so might as well just pop a few multivit laugh.gif
