Years ago, I was famous in my social circle for preparing the majority of my meals in the microwave. At the time, I thought the microwave was the greatest invention. My nutrition knowledge was limited to what the popular bodybuilding magazines were selling at the time so I basically thought food was for fuel no matter what the source was. I remember stuffing myself with ground beef cooked in the microwave and mixing it with white rice with just a drizzle of soy sauce to give it some taste. Back then, all I cared about was getting enough protein and carbs so that I could workout and get buff. And who could forget cooking eggs in the microwave. I used to scramble them and watch the eggs grow through the microwave window and then watch them deflate into a rubbery looking pile not thinking of anything unusual. After all, an egg is just an egg no matter how it is cooked, right?

About 17 years later and thousands of microwaved eggs and cows eaten, I discovered that microwaves can not be good for you. Think about it. When you cook an egg in a microwave and compare it to another egg cooked in a more traditional manner (scrambled, boiled, etc.), which one looks and tastes better? If you picked the microwave egg, you’d better sign up for the JSC NLC Program right away! The microwave heat is so strong that it literally changes the molecular structure of the food being heated. When eaten, this food has to be digested, absorbed, metabolized, and eliminated from our body. Eating the microwave food is an insult to our body that has to be compensated for. Over time, continuous insults may result in symptoms and disease.

Don’t get me started. The bottom line is that there is a lot of money involved and as long as microwaves do not kill people immediately, they will always be around. The only thing we can do is to educate as many people of the dangers and let them decide for themselves. If you are a bit concerned for your health and that of your families, you would be best if you avoided microwave ovens. They are a convenience that are just not worth it.
