 No test food was subjected to more microwaving than necessary to accomplish the purpose, that is, cooking, thawing, or heating to ensure sanitary ingestion. Here's a summary of some of the results:
?Microwaving prepared meats sufficiently to ensure sanitary ingestion caused formation of d-Nitrosodienthanolamines, a well-known carcinogen.
?Microwaving milk and cereal grains converted some of their amino acids into carcinogens. Thawing frozen fruits converted their glucoside and galactoside containing fractions into carcinogenic substances.

 In other words, eating raw broccoli provides you with natural anti-cancer medicine that's extremely effective at halting the growth of cancer tumors. But microwaving that broccoli destroys the anti-cancer nutrients, rendering the food "dead" and nutritionally depleted. There's even some evidence to suggest that microwaving destroys the natural harmony in water molecules, creating an energetic pattern of chaos in the water found in all foods. |

| The implication is that the microwaving of the blood to be transfused transformed the structure of the previously compatible blood, making it incompatible for transfusion.
The second is a report on microwaved baby formula, from The Lancet of December 9, 1989:

 Allicin starts to degrade after it's produced, so the fresher it is when you use it, the better. microwaving appears to destroy it completely— sorry. Garlic experts advise crushing a little raw garlic and combining it with the cooked food shortly before serving. Eating it raw isn't recommended because it can be irritating to the stomach.

Now here's the deal with garlic supplements: In a laboratory, dried garlic powder gets added to water so that the alliin and allinase can quickly react to make allicin. The amount of allicin produced is the measure of "allicin potential. |

| Microwaving is not an adequate method of cooking pork, since microwaving meat does not consistently kill infective worms.
• Freeze pork less than 6 inches thick for twenty days at 5 degrees F. to kill any worms.
• If you prepare your own ground meats, always be sure to clean the meat grinder thoroughly.
• Trichinae are not found in Europe, allowing the production and consumption of prosciutto, an Italian delicacy of thinly sliced raw pork, which can now be imported into the United States. |

 It's as if they were attempting to create French cuisine but only had the experience of microwaving a bowl of macaroni and cheese. They don't know the recipe for genuine health, and the results that have been achieved by conventional medicine clearly demonstrate this: plagues aside, the U.S. population remains the single most chronically diseased population ever observed in the history of humankind.
And the trend is towards even more disease, not less. Doctors, industry disease groups and medical associations are doing practically nothing to actually prevent disease. |

 Examples: Microwave meals are designed by food technologists to survive cooking, freezing, and microwaving. They're more of a testament to technology than to good nutrition. Nearly all brands leave a lot to be desired, but you may be a little better off with Indian- or Thai-style meals, if you like those cuisines. Be just as circumspect when looking at the fine print of health food brands.
Guideline 9. Avoid Most Refined Oils

 That's because dad and each of the kids are likely to prepare an entirely different entree for themselves, "preparing" in this case being a synonym for microwaving a package. Each family member might then join mom at the table for as long as it takes to eat, but not necessarily all at the same time. Technically, this kind of feeding counts as a family dinner in the survey results, though it's hard to believe it performs all the customary functions of a shared meal. Kraft or General Mills, for instance, is now determining the portion sizes, not mom, and the social value of sharing food is lost. |

 Overcooking foods or microwaving them may alter the foods' vitamin and enzyme content. This is particularly true for the elderly, who frequently cannot get out to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables and who may use microwaving as their preferred way of cooking. microwaving can seriously reduce B vitamins in food. Recently it has been discovered that many suffer from large deficiencies of B vitamins, especially in the elderly population. I am very skeptical of microwaves and don't have one in my house.
Habits such as microwaving are in a sense similar to using a low-grade fuel. |

 Even among people who do enjoy cooking, a lack of time often leads to simply microwaving prepared foods.
Planning meals, shopping, and cooking do take more time than simply driving through McDonald's. But cooking doesn't have to be a chore, and there are many ways to streamline the process so it doesn't take an inordinate amount of time. To be blunt, you can either make the time to cook healthy foods now or plan to be disabled in a few years.
Cooking can be fun, creative, and a wonderful experience that involves all of your senses. |

The third is a report on eating microwaved food, showing that eating microwaved food changes blood chemistry. Titled "Comparative Study of Food Prepared Conventionally and in the Microwave Oven," published by Raum and Zelt in 1992, at 3(2):43, it states:
One short-term study found significant and disturbing changes in the blood of individuals consuming microwaved milk and vegetables. |

| There's even some evidence to suggest that microwaving destroys the natural harmony in water molecules, creating an energetic pattern of chaos in the water found in all foods. In fact, the common term of "nuking" your food is coincidentally appropriate: Using a microwave is a bit like dropping a nuclear bomb on your food, then eating the fallout. (You don't actually get radiation from eating microwaved foods, however. But you don't get much nutrition, either. |
| I find it interesting that people who say that would never eat "irradiated" food have no hesitation about microwaving their food. It's the same thing (just a different wavelength of radiation). In fact, microwaves were originally called "radar ranges." Sounds strange today, doesn't it? But when microwaves were first introduced in the 1970's, they were proudly advertised as radar ranges. You blast your food with high-intensity radar and it gets hot. This was seen as some sort of space-age miracle in the 1970's. |

 Cooking, and other forms of processing such as microwaving, irradiation, and genetic engineering, destroy the quality and components of the food (and we still don't know the full extent of this destruction). Cooking is not only risky business, but it significantly diminishes the amount of nutrients, vitamins, minerals, proteins, fats, organic acids, and other lesser-known phytonutrients such as bioflavonoids, which are key components for activating positive gene expression. Because the phytonutrients are active in live foods, they play a significant role in gene regulation. |

 Doctors never mention the chemical poisons used in the producing of the food, the chemicals used in the processing of the food, the microwaving and irradiation of the food causing it to be energetic toxic, the growth hormones and antibiotics used in the meat and dairy, and the other environmental toxins that get into the food in the cooking, storing, and manufacturing. |

 Soy protein products such as textured soy protein (TSP), soy protein isolate (SPI) and soy protein concentrates (SPC) survive use under heavy processing conditions such as sterilization, freezing, thawing, recooking and microwaving.
INVISIBLE SOY
Soy proteins have been hiding in chopped meat mixes such as preformed hamburger patties, readymade meat loaves, spaghetti sauces and even some brands of fresh ground beef for years. |
| Processors tested heat, pressure, microwaving, chemicals and combinations thereof in the hope that the trypsin and other protease inhibitors could be completely deactivated.
Having failed to disarm the trypsin arsenal, the soy industry has regrouped to turn devils into angels. This began when protease inhibitors and other known "antinutrients" were re-labeled as "non-nutritive dietary compounds."84This phrase suggested an absence of bad effects—harmless fodder with possible positive effects that had yet to be identified. |

 Even if you throw out your microwave oven and you go to the store and you buy meat, grapes, pears, fresh carrots that are not organic, did you know that most of that has been zapped by a method called irradiation, which is in effect microwaving the food. It is done to kill bacteria and viruses. The problem is, it kills all the living enzymes as well, and makes the molecular structure of the food radically different. Go back and read my article on microwaving in December's newsletter.
People always ask me, "But organic food is more expensive. How can I afford it? |

 But there's another reason to avoid these breakfast meats: cooking with high heat also produces carcinogens. By microwaving or frying these meats at hot enough temperatures to make them brown, you are also creating toxic carcinogens that you ingest upon eating these meats. These carcinogens, combined with the sodium nitrite added by food manufacturers, results in a heightened health risk that you would be wise to avoid entirely.
A better choice for breakfast? Eggs or fresh meats made without nitrites. |

 Acrylamide is produced by frying, barbecuing, baking, and even microwaving.
Anything browned or burnt, or cooked or processed using high heat, is therefore likely to be bad for you. The bottom line is this: Eat more raw food, and steam-fry or boil food, rather than cook it at a high heat. To steam-fry foods rather than stir-fry them, add a very small amount of olive oil to a pan and saute the ingredients for literally a minute, just enough to generate enough heat so you can then add a water-based sauce, such as one-third each soy sauce, lemon juice, and water. |

| Make sure that no foods touch plastic wrap during microwaving. Or just stick to oven-proof glass containers and glass covers. Never use flimsy plastic containers like yogurt cups or margarine tubs in your microwave oven.

ž Use your microwave only if the door closes easily and tightly; don't use it if an object is caught in the door, or if the door is otherwise damaged. If there are any signs of rusting on the oven, have it repaired.

| At the back of the book make sure you read my article on microwaved food. microwaving of food radically changes the energetic structure of the food. When the "vibration" of food or "life force energy" of food is radically altered by chemical additives, processing, or genetic engineering, consuming and eating that food actually causes the body to go out of balance and CAUSES disease to develop. Yes, you are reading this right. From an energetic standpoint eating a genetically altered apple that has been sprayed with pesticides actually can give you cancer, as well as dozens of other diseases! |
