Is your microwave killing you?

Look, I'm sorry, but I've got to do some serious chuckling about this. A microwave oven heats food, or anything containing water, by exciting the resonant frequencies of water molecules. "Distort" the molecules in your food? ALL cooking produces molecular changes in foods. What's the difference between "change" and "distort" (except that "distort" sounds all bad and scary)? Food with its molecules unchanged, or un-"distorted," if you insist, is called by a technical name: raw. Some things are very good raw -- see fruits and most vegetables. Some things aren't so good raw -- see meats.

Everyone who's freaking out and throwing away your microwave: hey, go ahead and have your fun. But consider "throwing" them toward someone who might need them.

This. If you have any type of understanding on how microwaves work, you would know that this story is bunk. And the "so called person who sued" died from a blood clot. It even states it in the suit.

The Nazis invented the microwave oven. They were used in their mobile support operations, originally developed microwave "radiomissor" cooking ovens to be used for the invasion of Russia.

Bunk!

The microwave was invented by a Dr. Percy Spencer, a self-taught engineer with the Raytheon Corporation. He was testing a magnetron (needed for radars), when he noticed a candy bar melted. He also popped some popcorn. Now you know why microwaves were sometimes called a "radar range".

The cavity magnetron itself was invented by a pair of British scientists. The Germans had worked on magnetrons before the British ever did. But they abandoned the line of research, thinking the magnetron's frequency instability made it unsuitable for practical applications. They channelled their research into the much more precise, but also much lower power, klystron tube. The British found a way of working around the frequency instability and greatly increased the power output, producing the first useful magnetron radars.

The Nazis didn't have any until they chopped them out of crashed Allied planes equipped with H2S radar units.

My microwave chased me around the kitchen with a butcher knife last night. Scary devils!

i do not use a microwave not for any weird or crazy reason just because i eat healthier not making those quick meals in them... makes you think about cooking something healthy and more filing if it takes just as long to heat a tv dinner in the oven!

EVERYTHING is killing us now days
