HEAVEN on EARTH

I have been using a microwave oven for as long as I've known how to press the buttons...up until now.

Almost everyone I know uses a microwave on a daily basis. I mean, over 90% of American homes have a microwave oven. Many restaurants, hotels, and businesses throughout the world have them. And I know I am not just speaking for myself when I say it is easy to use a microwave oven your whole life without ever second guessing so. So what made me change my mind?

I second guessed it. I got curious. Not much research was done on these ovens before they were released to the public (after being accidently invented) in the 1950’s. Since then, many scientists and experts around the world have researched the effects on microwaves.

After not even five minutes of reading, I was ready to throw out my shiny microwave oven forever!

Have you guessed it? Microwaves kill you.

First, what is a microwave? A microwave is an electromagnetic wave of a specific wavelength. They are emitted by our cell phones, computers, and TVs- so you could say that you are already exposed to microwaves & EMFs (electromagnetic fields) to a certain extent. Microwave ovens work by using these microwaves to violently vibrate water molecules, thereby heating the food.

Let's start with the FDA, they seem to know their stuff ;). The official FDA website (fda.gov) states, "The microwave energy is changed to heat as it is absorbed by food, and does not make food “radioactive” or "contaminated." Also, the "FDA sets and enforces standards of performance for electronic products to assure that radiation emissions do not pose a hazard to public health."

So, the FDA says that microwaved food is safe, and not radioactive. And that the ovens, which leak radiation, are regulated to safe exposure levels.

It is also stated on their website that higher exposure to this radiation leakage is linked to sterility and the killing of sperm, as well as cataracts. And worse yet, the FDA states “Less is known about what happens to people exposed to low levels of microwaves. Controlled, long-term studies involving large numbers of people have not been conducted to assess the impact of low level microwave energy on humans.” Over six decades since the microwave oven has been invented, and yet we have no studies on their overall safety??? This pissed me off. I knew there were studies out there.

Have you ever heard the term, “nuke” it in the microwave? It isn’t a joke. You are literally zapping the life out of your food when you microwave it. A study published by The Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture found that fresh vegetables lost almost ALL (about 97%) of their antioxidants. Over 90% of nutrients are lost by microwaving. Once microwaved, a vegetable is nothing but a hot, dead piece of fiber.

But at least it’s not radioactive...right? It might be unhealthy to use a microwave, but how does it kill? That just sounds crazy.

Microwaving, or "nuking" your food destroys up to 90% of its life force energy. What you eat, you become. If you are eating dead, lifeless, nutrient-lacking food, then that is what is fueling your body. These nutrient-hacked foods not only decrease the body’s ability to absorb certain nutrients, but can also lead to digestive diseases- and worse.

Food is almost completely void of any nutrition after nuking. To make the situation worse, the exposure and leakage of microwaves also damage the human body even before eating the microwaved food. Not to mention the chemicals that leak out from containers being heated in the microwave (especially microwavable dinner packaging…a.k.a 'cancer for dinner').

Exposure to microwaves increase the number of cancerous cells (which we all have) in blood, in the stomach, and in the intestines. Exposure also negatively interferes with brainwaves and their functions, and the nervous system. (Studies have shown that these waves affect the parts of the brain which control thought, consciousness, and other higher functions).

When you use a microwave, you are creating a harmful surrounding to yourself (and others nearby), and you are killing everything helpful and good in your food! There are so many foods which prevent cancers, help fight heart disease, boost your immune system, give your body essential nutrients and vitamins… but these foods lose all of these abilities as soon as they’re microwaved. In fact, some substances in foods (especially amino acids in meats, milk, vegetables & fruits) create carcinogenic (cancerous) compounds while being cooked in the microwave oven!

Studies also found problems with hormone production related to microwave exposure, causing hormonal imbalance. Further studies show that the known brainwave disturbances caused by exposure also lead to memory & concentration problems, sleeping problems, and a whole array of emotional & intellectual issues. These are only some of the known issues linked to microwaves, but the lists go on.

This is not a joke, and this is not meant to scare anyone. I am trying to spread awareness. Microwaves are banned in many different places around the world- just like GMOs- because of the well-known dangers. Unfortunately, America is an easy target when it comes to the food industry.

The next best thing? You can buy a decent toaster oven for about the same cost of a microwave oven, if not cheaper! Toaster ovens definitely do not work as fast or versatile as microwaves (what does?). However, your food will taste better and will be HEALTHIER and safe! No gamble necessary. I have been free of my microwave oven for just over a month now, and I have been able to cook and eat without ever thinking twice about nuking anything!!! If Americans cold cook just fine without them back in the day, we are definitely capable of living without them now! I love technology, but I love myself more (not in a selfish way, we all need to love and care for ourselves more) <3 Technology should always help you more than it is hurting you- otherwise it is more of a weapon than a convenience.

The sooner you stop using a microwave oven- the better. Radiation exposure builds up in the body over time, and some studies suggest that this radiation can leak as far as 500 meters (I hope it is not this serious, although you can track this radiation with a simple tool to find out for yourself). The effects of exposure long outlast the actual use of the oven, and exposure affects not only us- but plants and animals nearby too. Some people have even done their own at-home research with plants which are fed microwaved water vs. plants who are not. The results are very interesting.

I encourage you to do your own research and find out for yourself the harms and benefits of using microwave ovens. I know asking to throw out your perfectly good microwave is a lot- I could not even convince my own family to do something like that! But I do ask that you become aware, for you and future generations!
