Microwave cooking is a hot debate these days. There is wide spread belief that microwave cooking is behind cancer and other fatal diseases.
Being the fastest, easiest and cleanest way to heat food or bake, people are very fond of this appliance. But certain side effects are also associated with this magical appliance. The question arises here that is it really that harmful?
Here are a few points to be considered before making such claim.
Is radiation from a microwave harmful?
It is true that microwaves work on radiation, but radiation is energy that travels in waves. But there are different waves: radio waves, X-ray and energy waves and micro wave is weaker than gamma rays. So don’t worry about turning into mutants
So, microwave cooking is not harmful as long as the door is closed. Thankfully no microwave allows use unless the door is firmly secure.
Radiation leaks from the microwave
Microwave leaks are possible if the door is damaged and cannot be shut properly. There are a few steps to ensure that your cooking machine does not leak of radiation.
Does microwave cooking and heating affect food?
Microwave cooking and heating does not change the components of your food, it only heats the food. There is no evidence of toxin formation in food or carcinogens. If you over cook your food, then you are changing the components of the nutrients in your food. Over cooking on a grill, in the oven or micro wave, irrespective of the heat’s source, destroys the nutrients.
Hence proved, Microwaves do not change the nutrients of the food.
