9/17 Is there a study that shows how safe microwaves are? My mama who
just came from India is convinced that microwaves put radiation
into the food and wouldn't eat anything that's been nuked. Thx.
\_ Uh, is you mother from some village? Does she still watch
movies and wonder how they can fit a building in such a
small box? If so, Your SOL Dude. Otherwise, explain it
to her that microwaves != radiation. Microwave ovens
use the vibrational properies of hydrogen bonds to cause
a temperature increase in the surrounding moleules.
\_ This must be some kind of joke, even my 85 yr old Grand
Mother in India has a microwave and uses it regularly.
\_ microwave ovens vibrate the hydrogen bonds in water. This
may cause certain nutrients to break down. Not sure if there
are any long-term studies that look at the effects of eating
nuked food. At any rate, respect your mother's authoritay!
\_ Tell her to look for "Made in Pakistan" stickers. -John
\_ i ate microwaved food most of my life. i don't have cancer. |
