[quote:Anonymous Coward 202319:MV82MzM5OTZfOTY0NDE3NV9EMjBCQzhGNw==] Microwave ovens denature food. They change molecular structure of the nuked food so your body doesn't recognize it as food & doesn't know what to do with it. Take two potted plants that are exactly the same. Water them equally the same but "nuke" the water for one of the plants. Over time you will be shocked by the results. Not only that, microwave ovens give off stuff in the air when in use. I quit using mine when I walked through my kitchen using my cordless phone while the microwave oven was on. I was several feet away but the static on the phone was pronounced. Don't stand in front of and hover over MO while in use. Don't stand in front of or underneath when you open it to get food out. BEST: DON'T USE MICROWAVE OVENS Can anyone tell me if this following is fact or not? I heard that microwave ovens are prohibited in Russia. [/quote]

Zapping frozen meals in the microwave may be fast and easy, but it also can make you sick if it's not done properly.
The government has issued a new warning urging consumers to thoroughly cook frozen chicken dinners after 32 people in 12 states were sickened with salmonella poisoning.
The problem is that microwaves heat unevenly, and can leave cold spots in the food that harbor dangerous bacteria, such as E. coli, salmonella or listeria. So microwaving anything that includes raw meat, whether it's frozen or thawed, can cause problems.
Many people wrongly assume all frozen meals are precooked and only need to be warmed. It's a misconception fostered in part by foods prepared to appear cooked.
One researcher said microwaves are "great for reheating, but maybe not so good for cooking."
