Welcome to Gaia! ::

I'm sure almost everyone in this guild, if not everyone, owns a microwave. The microwave can be very helpful to us. Cooking small low fat meals in a short period of time. When you cook less, you won't be tempted to eat more. It's convenient, it save people A LOT of time. I'm just curious as to wether people know about the dangers of using a microwave.

I have known for a long time, that microwaves destroy the nutrients in the food. However, when faced with limited amount of time, I'd rather not be hungry, so I'd toss in a lil something into the microwave to hold me over for a while. I also use it to melt butter since your always better off to buy natural popcorn and add your own butter.

The thing is, and this was brought to my attention by my brother's girlfriend. A microwave does more than destroy important nutrients, it actually changes the food to the point where it is extremely unhealthy and increases your risk of cancer and many other diseases.

The dangers of microwaves

Since discovering this, I avoid using it at all.

I have a problem with microwaves as well. Not only does it take up counter space but god damn it's not good for you.

im not saying people should ignore it, im saying that there are things that are more likely to give you cancer that probably should be addressed first before we start on the microwaves
