Thoughts on microwaves? It seems like they do terrible things to our food and our health, but still are used by everyone. Has anyone discontinued use altogether and felt better because of it?
There are articles online against it, but some of those sites look sketchy and run by wackjobs. Anyone read anything conclusive?
It's just more nonsense. If you stop using a microwave completely, you aren't going to live longer or feel better.
Microwaves are acutally more healthy for veggies because they don't strip out the nutrients.
I've read several studies, mostly European (one was published in "The Lancet"), that suggested microwaves are less than ideal. This was long after I stopped using them at any rate.
I had always felt that microwave prepared food was vastly inferior to conventional cooking methods. I haven't had a microwave in my home since 1995.

boiling vegetables is what strips away the nutrients. if you cook it most other ways (my favorite is a steamer) then you should be fine. but microwaves do weird things to food. I'm not saying you will die earlier if you microwave all your food but it is a strange way to cook food. I mean there is quite the difference between microwaving water to be used in something and boiling it (aka with tea, hot cocoa, or even oatmeal).
