Microwave ovens have entered our everyday life, making it much more comfortable. But we often hear that they are harmful to health. I really do not want to leave because of unverified rumors with such a useful device, so let's deal with it.
To begin with, it should be understood that there are special services that ensure that the parameters specified by the manufacturer correspond to reality. And the producers, in turn, write about the complete safety of their products. We will not believe anyone for a word, let alone producers who will never write the full truth about their goods.
If you look at the advertising brochures of companies, we will see "Fast, tasty and very useful".Quickly - we will not even argue here, it's delicious - let's just say, if the product was inedible before the microwave, then after that the taste will not change much. For fairness, we note that when cooking in the oven or in a multi-store will be much tastier. And the benefit is already very controversial.
Harm to cooking in the microwave
Let's turn to the scientists. At the University of Vienna, a series of studies were conducted on how the food cooked in the microwave oven works on the human body. At the end of the 20th century, an article was published in which scientists came to the conclusion that when microwaves are exposed to food, the atomic structure of food changes. All the usefulness of the product is lost. Known scandal with the dismissal of Dr. Hans Hertel because of the publication of his research, in which he proved a threat to human health from products from the microwave.
Russian scientists also conducted a number of studies. The results are amazing. It turns out that microwaves, acting on vegetables, form free radicals, which are very harmful to health and can even cause a cancerous tumor. We all know about the dangers of carcinogens, they are formed when cooking cereals or dairy products. Irradiated proteins break, mixing with water molecules, form carcinogens. Moreover, artificial baby food after a microwave oven becomes toxic, causing huge damage to the kidneys and the nervous system of the child.
Another danger: finding near the microwave oven during operation. Most often, by heating food, we are near the microwave, counting the seconds. It turns out that this is very harmful to our health. Nerve brain impulses are disturbed. The structure of the blood changes. Cell membranes are deformed, nerve endings degenerate.
In light of these facts, it can be said that microwave ovens are not safe and are harmful to health. However, from an occasional short-term exposure, within a few seconds or minutes, there will be no great, irreparable damage. But it is better to avoid prolonged cooking in the microwave oven.
