The
Hidden Hazards Of Microwave Cooking
by Anthony Wayne and Lawrence Newell
Dr.
Lita Lee of Hawaii reported in the December 9, 1989 Lancet:
"Microwaving
baby formulas converted certain trans-amino acids into their synthetic
cis-isomers. Synthetic isomers, whether cis-amino acids or trans-fatty
acids, are not biologically active.
Further,
one of the amino acids, L-proline, was converted to its d-isomer,
which is known to be neurotoxic (poisonous to the nervous system)
and nephrotoxic (poisonous to the kidneys). It's bad enough that
many babies are not nursed, but now they are given fake milk (baby
formula) made even more toxic via microwaving."
Microwaved
blood kills patient
In
1991, there was a lawsuit in Oklahoma concerning the hospital
use of a microwave oven to warm blood needed in a transfusion.
The case involved a hip surgery patient, Norma Levitt, who died
from a simple blood transfusion.
It
seems the nurse had warmed the blood in a microwave oven. This
tragedy makes it very apparent that there's much more to "heating"
with microwaves than we've been led to believe. Blood for transfusions
is routinely warmed, but not in microwave ovens. In the case of
Mrs. Levitt, the microwaving altered the blood and it killed her.
It's
very obvious that this form of microwave radiation "heating"
does something to the substances it heats. It's also becoming
quite apparent that people who process food in a microwave oven
are also ingesting these "unknowns".
Because
the body is electrochemical in nature, any force that disrupts
or changes human electrochemical events will affect the physiology
of the body. This is further described in Robert O. Becker's book,
The Body Electric, and in Ellen Sugarman's book, Warning, the
Electricity Around You May Be Hazardous to Your Health.
Scientific
evidence and facts
In
Comparative Study of Food Prepared Conventionally and in the Microwave
Oven, published by Raum & Zelt in 1992, at 3(2): 43, it states
"A
basic hypothesis of natural medicine states that the introduction
into the human body of molecules and energies, to which it is
not accustomed, is much more likely to cause harm than good.
Microwaved
food contains both molecules and energies not present in food
cooked in the way humans have been cooking food since the discovery
of fire. Microwave energy from the sun and other stars is direct
current based.
Artificially
produced microwaves, including those in ovens, are produced from
alternating current and force a billion or more polarity reversals
per second in every food molecule they hit.
Production
of unnatural molecules is inevitable. Naturally occurring amino
acids have been observed to undergo isomeric changes (changes
in shape morphing) as well as transformation into toxic forms,
under the impact of microwaves produced in ovens.
One
short-term study found significant and disturbing changes in the
blood of individuals consuming microwaved milk and vegetables.
Eight volunteers ate various combinations of the same foods cooked
different ways.
All
foods that were processed through the microwave ovens caused changes
in the blood of the volunteers. Hemoglobin levels decreased and
over all white cell levels and cholesterol levels increased. Lymphocytes
decreased.
Luminescent
(light-emitting) bacteria were employed to detect energetic changes
in the blood. Significant increases were found in the luminescence
of these bacteria when exposed to blood serum obtained after the
consumption of microwaved food."
The
Swiss clinical study
Dr.
Hans Ulrich Hertel, who is now retired, worked as a food scientist
for many years with one of the major Swiss food companies that
do business on a global scale. A few years ago, he was fired from
his job for questioning certain processing procedures that denatured
the food.
In
1991, he and a Lausanne University professor published a research
paper indicating that food cooked in microwave ovens could pose
a greater risk to health than food cooked by conventional means.
An
article also appeared in issue 19 of the Journal Franz Weber in
which it was stated that the consumption of food cooked in microwave
ovens had cancerous effects on the blood. The research paper itself
followed the article. On the cover of the magazine there was a
picture of the Grim Reaper holding a microwave oven in one of
his hands.
Dr.
Hertel was the first scientist to conceive and carry out a quality
clinical study on the effects microwaved nutrients have on the
blood and physiology of the human body.
His
small but well controlled study showed the degenerative force
produced in microwave ovens and the food processed in them. The
scientific conclusion showed that microwave cooking changed the
nutrients in the food; and, changes took place in the participants'
blood that could cause deterioration in the human system.
Hertel's
scientific study was done along with Dr. Bernard H. Blanc of the
Swiss Federal Institute of Technology and the University Institute
for Biochemistry.
In
intervals of two to five days, the volunteers in the study received
one of the following food variants on an empty stomach: (1) raw
milk; (2) the same milk conventionally cooked; (3) pasteurized
milk; (4) the same raw milks cooked in a microwave oven; (5) raw
vegetables from an organic farm; (6) the same vegetables cooked
conventionally; (7) the same vegetables frozen and defrosted in
a microwave oven; and (8) the same vegetables cooked in the microwave
oven.
Once
the volunteers were isolated, blood samples were taken from every
volunteer immediately before eating. Then, blood samples were
taken at defined intervals after eating from the above milk or
vegetable preparations.
Significant
changes were discovered in the blood samples from the intervals
following the foods cooked in the microwave oven. These changes
included a decrease in all hemoglobin and cholesterol values,
especially the ratio of HDL (good cholesterol) and LDL (bad cholesterol)
values.
Lymphocytes
(white blood cells) showed a more distinct short-term decrease
following the intake of microwaved food than after the intake
of all the other variants. Each of these indicators pointed to
degeneration.
Additionally,
there was a highly significant association between the amount
of microwave energy in the test foods and the luminous power of
luminescent bacteria exposed to serum from test persons who ate
that food.
This
led Dr. Hertel to the conclusion that such technically derived
energies may, indeed, be passed along to man inductively via eating
microwaved food.
