Dr. Sebi's Nutritional Guide Does Not Recommend Microwaving Food Because it destroys the Nutrients in the Foods. Daaa, there is a whole lot more to why you should not be using microwave ovens too.
Instead of using a microwave oven, go out and buy a brand new electric oven for your tabletop. I have several for my business in my home and they are very effective. I really enjoy the convenience and there is no need to have a big oven in your home. The small electric ovens are convenient and use less electric. My home is all electric and so I never use gas anything. See my selections below.
Reason #1 - If you are heating in plastic, the heating will transfer the chemicals to your foods. If you must microwave, then make sure you are using glass.
According to the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC)
“What the term ‘microwave-safe’ basically means is that any chemicals leaching from the container into food do so at levels far below those shown to have any health effects.
There is cause to be wary of this claim, however. In particular, #7 polycarbonate plastic should not be used in a microwave, even if it is labeled ‘microwave-safe,’ because it leaches hormone-disrupting bisphenol A (BPA), especially when heated.”Reason #2 - Microwave foods cause digestive problems.
Reason #3 - Radiation accumulates over time and never goes away.
Reason #4 - It can cause cancer, literally. Carcinogenic toxins can leach out of your paper and plastic containers, right onto your food.
.
The January/February 1990 issue of Nutrition Action Newsletter reported the leakage of numerous toxic chemicals from the packaging of common microwavable foods, including pizzas, chips and popcorn. Chemicals included polyethylene terpthalate (PET), benzene, toluene, and xylene. Microwaving fatty foods in plastic containers leads to the release of dioxins (known carcinogens) and other toxins into your food.
Reason #5 - Radiation may leak out of your oven while you are cooking into your home.
Reason #6 - Microwaved food may cause stomach and colon cancer. The recent rise in colon and stomach cancers may be attributed to this fact.
Reason #7 - Continually eating food processed in a microwave oven can produce virtually irreversible damage to the body’s nervous system by “shorting out” electrical impulses in the brain and nerve centers. This can result in the loss of memory, lack of concentration, emotional instability and decreased intelligence. 1
Reason #8 - Minerals, vitamins and nutrients of all micro-waved food are reduced so that the human body gets little or no benefit, or the human body absorbs altered compounds that cannot be broken down for utilization.1
Reason #9 - Microwaving food, in effect, potentially destroys and depletes the life energy, rendering the food completely dead and lifeless. In addition, the food’s nutritional value is lost and it becomes nearly useless in terms of providing any real health benefit.2
Reason #10 - BECAUSE DR. SEBI TOLD YOU NOT TO USE THEM.
The microwave will always be used by those looking for a quick way to heat foods, but it is our hope that this article will convince them and you that the risks outweigh the convenience. Do yourself a favor and throw them out. A microwave oven is not a good thing!!
