Very interesting post. No wonder why some country are more prone to cancer than other.

not sure I can do without my microwave just yet….how would you make popcorn!!
By Mindy on Jun 10, 2008
@Mindy: well Mindy, I wouldn’t sweat it too much as long as you aren’t eating it everyday! Keep your microwave around for water and popcorn, but refrain from using if for anything else! When I eat something that is supposed to be bad for me I try to make sure I’m eating more things that are good to outweigh the bad! For example: blending out the anti-cancerous compounds out of your veggies with a VitaMixer more often than you are eating microwaved popcorn!

Sorry, but the alarmism about microwaves is based on myth and pseudoscience. Here is an article which debunks the claims:

@Mike: thanks for providing the other side of the story in a nicely laid out pdf with lots of info!
I still am not convinced that microwaves are safe however.
I’m certainly not convinced microwaves are ok from the vague statement by a man named Barry Swanson (Swanson is one of the biggest names in microwave dinners! I don’t know if he’s related but what a coincidence!?)
for those who want to read the statement, I’ve pasted it below:
“Without knowing more about how he conducted his study, what he measured, how he measured it, and what he found,it’s impossible to even begin to evaluate his findings,” says Barry
Swanson, a food scientist at Washington State University in Pullman.
and the article proudly states that the FDA has proved that microwaves and plastics are safe and that radiation stays contained unless there is a hole in the microwave, etc.
well, my feelings about the FDA are “can’t trust ‘em!”
for example: The FDA allows companies to label foods as 0 trans fat when in fact they aren’t! And they even admit they let companies lie!
read about it here: http://www.ethicurean.com/2007/04/05/trans-fat-label/
so, I still stick to my belief that microwaves are harmful. I’d be interested to learn more!

Interesting post about plastic water bottles. I stopped by your site after you posted on my dietary supplement blog: http://jmorrow50.wordpress.com.
