So, my new Golden rule to keep sane in this era of fake news, mischevious news, fraudulent news, stupid news, dangerous news etc. The three R's I recommend to everyone ... READ, RETAIN (ie, DO NOT simply forward), and RESEARCH Don't worry, it's summer here, I've got some time today. This article is from a blog yourhealthattitude written by one Maryam Abdulrasheed. Now, I don't know her qualifications to write about health but there is a mega disclaimer on the website Your Health Attitude blog intends to give general advice for sustaining good health through eating and living well, as well as taking the right actions towards positive health.

I recommend this sort of disclaimers to Babalawos everywhere too. Ms Abdulrasheed does not want to be sued. Take everything on her site with a pinch of salt. If you follow the links mentioned in the article, trust me, you will be voluntarily subjecting yourself to a vortex of conspiracies and repeated-lies-that-morph-into-truth. I hoped at least to find a direct link to reference the WHO study. Well Google is your friend. In fact, it can be your best friend too in these dark times where sociopaths want to secretly take over the world using information as their man weapon.

flyca: Phones emit RF Radiofrequency but newer models of phones emit very little of these frequencies than older models. This amount of RF is adjudged by what is known as SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) which is the amount of RF energy absorbed from the phone into the local tissues. The upper limit of SAR allowed is 1.6 watts per kilogram of body weight. It is advisable not to put your phone in your "breast pocket" especially when living in high density urbanized areas because of high distribution of RF. Cars kill. Does it mean we should not enter cars? Lol...cars will not just "kill you" but you should be very observant. Make sure that your car has no exhaust leak that festers into the internal area of your vehicle and do not idle your car in an enclosure (like a garage) for too long. Secondly, be sure of the kind of dashboard polish you use for those who want their cars to be squeaky clean. Heard of a guy who got acute bronchitis from inhalation of arsenic that was emitted from the polish used in wiping his dashboard via his car AC. |

This is absolutely spot on and backed by actual research. I've been advising friends for a long time to give up microwave due to it's harmful effects. I stopped using it a long time ago. My initial fear was that heating up food would take longer. That turned out to be untrue. Heating up food with a regular pot turned ou t to be just fine and quick. 2 Likes |

One thing must kill a man. I'll take my chance. I also read on the microwave field thing because my mother always preaches about it. Apparently if your oven has no leaks or breaks then there is nothing to fear: all the waves created from its operation are contained within the box. |

Your information not true. Microwave generate small amounts of X-ray radiation which if you stand close it pass through your body which can do you harms in a long run. But no effect on ur food at all. Go do ur research again. |

[quote author=otswag post=69859957]I would like to point pot a lot of misconceptions regarding this post so people won't be misinformed: 1. Not all forms of radiation has been known to cause cancer. Radiation is grouped into ionizing and non-ionizing. Examples of the ionizing forms are gamma rays, x rays, ultraviolet rays and these are the forms known to be dangerous when one is exposed to them for too long. Also, Gamma has the lowest wavelength in the examples above, next is x ray and then infrared rays and this correlates with how dangerous each of them are respectively. In other words, the lower the wavelength, the more dangerous it is. Radiowaves, microwaves, infrared are non -ionizing radiations and have relatively higher wavelengths, hence, none has been known to cause cancer till date. 2. Microwaves do not change the molecular composition of food. Rather, it heats up the water molecules in food and this heat then spreads by convection. 3.microwaves do not heat food from inside-out. Infact, It can only penetrate a few centimeters below the food surface. I does it from outside- in and then the heat spreads by convection. 4. microwave ovens are designed to contain the waves inside the appliance. Infact, once you open the oven while its still on, it switches off automatically. The only reason there would be a leakage is if the appliance itself is broken somewhere. For your info, microwaves are invincible to the na.ked eye. Its not that light that comes on when you switch on the machine. [b] 5. The only part your this post that has been proven to be true is the part concerning heating food in plastics. Yes, this is discouraged because the plastic can melt and leach into the food and this may be dangerous to ones health in future. Using ceramic bowls or other non-metal containers is safer. [/quote] You mentioned earlier that the waves heat up ONLY the water in The food and the heat spreads by convection. Right? Now, can you explain why the waves also melt the plastic in an oven when plastics dont contain water? |

jabolo:well I wrote the post and own the blog, thanks for rebroadcasting my disclaimer, whatever ur intentions may be. I don't just write out of the blues, if anything else, I am certain of my observation that my health condition worsens when I consume microwaved meals, hence writing this post. Our bodies react differently to things, especially those dealing with immune system related illnesses. But then let everyone chose what stands as truth to them personally. |
Re: The Dangers Of Microwave Oven In Your Home by otswag(m): 7:23pm On Jul 31, 2018 |
Brightgem:lol. More reliable because it supports your post? . The truth is not hidden on the net. You just have to know how to filter bull.shit websites from the right ones. Do you research well my dear. My post was meant to be informative not confrontational. |
Re: The Dangers Of Microwave Oven In Your Home by Brightgem(f): 7:30pm On Jul 31, 2018 |
otswag:In what way was I confrontational? Facts can also be what I personally experience, which then stands as true to me. Nor be so? we can both see the number 69 and call it 9 or 6 depending on where who is standing. so who would be wrong? |
