    Yes. The ions in the food become radiated and then become misaligned to their natural harmonic frequency causing negative energy to be generated from the resultant bad magnetic field.

    In other words, it becomes uptight food with bad vibes?

      I think only by it's nature that a good homemade vegetable soup is much healthier than a plastic packet full of goodness knows what - and it is unlikely that you are going to make that soup in a microwave.

      My microwave scrambled eggs are sooo much nicer than my fried ones. It's much easier to get them nice and creamy.

        The difference is that oven-cooked food has had time for the chemical reactions to take place which give food its "cooked" taste. Microwaved food tastes more like hot raw food. :D

        Not in the least. Try bacon, boerewors, eggs, fish, the list goes on. With other foods, cooking instructions - when read - advise on leaving microwaved food to stand a little before eating. That's not so that it deradiates, but so that those chemical reactions still occur.

          What about solids with no water that get as hot as hell in a microwave? Specially, some ceramics, especially glazed. Are their frequencies similar to water, or do they just suck it up and get hot?

                Metal oxides in the glaze are conductive.

                  It could be. As mentioned, the microwave oven emits RF radiation, which the molecules of water (H2O) absorb. This could lead to the molecules breaking up in negative OH ions. These stay in your food and have been linked for causing cancer. I have however no hard data to back this up.

                    No problem if your microwave has a grill function :) But I prefer roast from the oven or Weber.

                      I suspected something like that. Metal salts are widely used in pigments.

                        The instructions for my MicroWave clearly state that you shouldn't put metals in.

                          Now that would be a bit of an impossible contradictory attempt, like boiling an egg on oil in a frying pan.

                            The food itself isn't usually the issue. (Just stir it to avoid hot spots. ) It's the container. Most people microwave food in plastic containers. Heating the contents accelerates the rate at which chemicals can be released, leaching into your food. Most glass is safe. At work many people use glass plates instead of the containers the food comes in. (Even microwave meals, which I would HOPE have microwave safe plastics) I have seen glass with too much lead and ceramics with metal content crack and break in the microwave. The worst case is when it cracks, but doesn't fall apart until you pick it up and hot food falls all over you

                              No! Now, if you'll excuse me, my other head is crying because it's hungry...Geez, I only have 5 hands and can't do everything at once. Now where did I put that popcorn?

                                Yes. The ions in the food become radiated and then become misaligned to their natural harmonic frequency causing negative energy to be generated from the resultant bad magnetic field.

                                  I guess that would go a long way to explaining Dato. Some kind of microwave oven accident in early childhood? Never operate a microwave oven without your tinfoil hat! :)
