The process of causing water molecules in the food to resonate at extremely high frequencies and to convert to steam actually causes the chemical structure of the food to change. This causes food to lose almost 100% of its nutritional value, and it alters the taste completely. Using a microwave to warm baby formula or breast milk is also a bad idea because it destroys almost all of the natural nutrients and goodness found in breast milk, and it also converts trans-amino acids to biologically inactive (synthetic) cis-isomers. It destroys antibodies and bacteria-digesting enzymes that naturally occur in breast milk. An amino acid known as L-proline converts to d-isomer, which is both neuro- and nephrotoxic (causes nervous system and kidney damage).
Our bodies cannot break down the foreign by-products which are created when food is microwaved. Nutrients and vitamins in the food are either severely altered or even destroyed completely, rendering the food void of any nutritional value. Food prepared in microwaves has also been known to cause intestinal and stomach tumours. Cancerous cells in the blood have also shown a remarkable increase in those who consume microwaved food on a regular basis. Even thawing foods out in a microwave is dangerous, as it leads to the formation of carcinogenic substances in the food.
Chemical products from plastic, Styrofoam and even paper food containers are known to leech into food when they are microwaved in these containers. BPA is one of the main culprits, which causes hormonal imbalances, lowered sperm count in men and various forms of cancer.
Other side effects of consuming foods prepared in a microwave include memory loss, emotional instability, long-term brain damage, a severely weakened immune system, altered male and female hormone production and decreased levels of intelligence.
A recent study has also shown that microwave frequency radiation affects the heart, causing symptoms such as chest pains and irregular heartbeat rhythms.
Those regularly using microwaves have been known to experience a host of symptoms such as swollen lymph nodes, headaches, dizziness, nausea, vision problems, frequent urination and extreme thirst, night sweats, insomnia, appetite loss and other sleep disturbances. Increased cholesterol levels, decreased haemoglobin levels and a decrease in both red and white blood cell levels have also been reported.

微波爐促使水分子以極高的頻率轉動而產生熱能的加熱方式,實際上會導致食物的化學結構產生變化,造成營養大量流失,并且使味道完全改變。以微波爐加熱母乳或是沖泡的牛奶不會是好主意,因為如此一來將會把母乳中的天然營養素破壞殆盡,并且將反式胺基酸轉變為順式異構體,摧毀母乳中所含有的天然抗體及消化酵素,另外一種稱作左旋輔胺酸的胺基酸也會因此轉變成具有神經毒素的右旋異構體,造成神經系統及腎臟受損。
我們的身體不能分解微波食物時產生的外來副產品,食物中的營養素和維生素不管是嚴重改變或是完全被破壞,都會使得食物變得沒有營養價值。經常食用微波食物的人,血液中的癌細胞也會因此大幅增加,容易罹患大腸癌及胃癌;即使只是以微波爐解凍食物也不安全,會促使致癌物質在食物里形成。
微波的時候,盛裝食物的塑料袋,發泡膠甚至是紙制容器中的化學物質也已經證實會逸散至食物當中,對健康產生危害;常見的 BPA (酚甲烷) 就是其中一種化學物質,不僅會造成人體的內分泌失衡、減少精蟲的數量,甚至還會導致各種癌癥。
其它食用微波食物的副作用還包括:記憶力喪失、情緒不穩、大腦長期受損、免疫力驟降、性激素失調及智力降低等。最近更有研究顯示,微波爐所散發出來的高頻輻射會影響心臟功能,造成胸痛及心律不整。
已知經常使用微波爐的人會出現以下癥狀:淋巴結腫大、頭痛、頭暈、惡心、視力問題、頻尿、容易口渴、夜間盜汗、失眠、胃口不佳、膽固醇上升、血紅蛋白及紅白血球數量減少等。
