Hi friends,
Even our family, have stopped using microwave for nearly a year now, because food cooked in it absorbs the radiation, and is extremely unhealthy ! We can even taste that the coffee/tea made in gas is more tastier; Even when steaming vegetables, you can taste the difference. The microwaves rapidly absorb the moisture in the food, leaving it very dry [maybe that's why the roasts come out very well ] and also destroying the nutrients. To also reheat the samosas / patties/ rolls etc. which sometimes we buy from shops for evening snacks, I DON'T use the microwave, only the pan on the stove.
If there was absolutely nothing harmful and it was very safe , then why has a whole nation [Russia] completely banned it? They call them 'Radiation Ovens' , by the way. After reading countless such articles on different sites, magazines, we are not at all convinced that microwaves are harmless . Even a couple of my neighbours have sold their micro. ovens, and are not regretting because they haven't lost anything beneficial to health !! The only merit in using these ovens, was the time-saved, but just a few minutes more to cook tastier / with natural flavours and goodness, is anyday preferrable. Just try not microwaving anything for a week, and you'll feel the difference.
Cheers,
Urmila.
