If you Google about microwaves and radiation damage you'll find that studies have shown that microwave ovens change the nutritive value of milk and vegetables and subjects after consuming microwaved milk and vegetables showed a decreased in white blood cells and other hemoglobin levels, as well as a change in cholesterol.

I haven't been able to eat microwaved food since.

Anyone else?

I hear there's a South Park episode about this, which I watch religiously, but haven't seen... strange.

    Microwave only "shake" water molecules thus producing heat. There is nothing more here...
    Every method of cooking (oven, bbq, etc.) will change the "content"/quality of the food (proteins denaturation). The only way to avoid this is eating raw food.

    Well microwaved food usually tastes nasty anyways, so I don't see why this is a big deal.

    Okay...So before I read this post I thought maybe I should heat some milk in my microwave (it settles my stomach before I sleep) cause I'm about to go to bed. But after reading this and the comments I'm getting sort of freaked out. What should I do.

    I rarely use my microwave. I mostly use it as a clock and a timer. It makes food gross.

    Yeah, but in the south park episode, It was also notes these changes take years to happen, a lifetime usually. Watch the entire episode, gawsh

    @Shawn_cp3:

    People that like to use milk for hot chocolate and to warm milk bottles for children/babys. /:

    But I rather get cancer from a microwave then a cigarette any day.

    Deepthought33, u threw out your microwave and didn't use it for ages because u thought it was really bad for u and hurt your body by eating things made in it but u make your toddlers food in one because it's a pain in the arse to prepare food the other ways??!! R u serious? U sound like a bloody idiot that shouldn't have had kids!! It's not good enough for u but it's ok for your kid! What an idiot!

      Lol. That was just one example. I used the stove and oven for cooking and reheating for a few years and just bought one a couple months ago. My kid is three.
      My only aim was to quell some rash judgments but I apparently failed at that attempt with you.

      Everybody goes through phases of one sort or another. Ya either keep it or ya move on. I have a microwave now cuz it is a pain to prepare food for a toddler the long way.

    If you try to sprout a seed in microwaved (cold) water it will never sprout.

    Microwaved food is carcinogenic, Any food eaten that has been cooked or defrosted in a microwave oven can cause changes in the blood indicative of a developing pathological process that is also found in cancer.

    Microwaved food contains substances previously unknown to science

    A nurse was sued for heating blood (for transfusion) in a microwave, the patient died instantly.

    Microwaved food is VERY bad. period.

    Ok no there has never been a case where microwave oven radiation has ever changed food value...let me guess u always believe that a cell phone radiation can cause cancer. Don't believe everything you hear
