Guest guest Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Mara, Many different theories about what microwaves do to our food- although much simpler to understand than say GMO's it's one of those things that we still don't know enough about. Perhaps this has to to with the paradigms we work with.. With that said recently I read somewhere in some archive that Elaine said she theorized the issue with the microwave would be gene mutation. This is particularly interesting to me as years ago I saw a doctor that explained to me about the worries of eating foods that genes have been mutated since it then merges and has an effect on our own genes (everything we consume, breathe does etc) Jodi SCD 13 months Crohn's/Colitis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't used a microwave for years. Like everything else we do to prepare foods, do it the long way.

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Group, My coworkers in the health food biz all avoid foods from the microwave whenever possible. Most are concerned that the enzymes are ruined. For the same reason we all consume as much local fresh food as we can. There are many other reasons this could be an issue, this just being the most obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many other reasons this could be an issue, this just being the most obvious. I avoid microwave ovens in general, but also recognize that some people find them a necessary tool. It's like eating local and organic... it's great if you can manage it, but not everyone can. There are plenty of ways we can improve what we eat, from going organic to pastured foods to non-microwaved. But let's take it one step at a time, and not drive ourselves batty trying to do everything at once. (Hey, for me, it's a short put, anyway!)
