The microwave debate – My view

Hi Matt,

I do have a question for you.

You may wish to share this answer with others as I suspect they will have similar concerns.

Is it safe in your opinion to use microwave for cooking/reheating food?

Best

Don

Hi Don,

I’m not a fan of microwaves at all.

I believe they denature proteins and may have harmful effects in the body.

It doesn’t take long to heat stuff up in a pan, steam it – whatever.

I prefer not to use them and I’d advice others not to as well.

There’s some studies on the effect microwaved food has on immune function and whilst these are neither well controlled or large they do provide interesting and believable evidence in my opinion to avoid them.

I’d already made my mind up instinctively when they first came out as a teenager.
