    Has anyone ever thought about the fact that so many of us cook most of our food with MICRO-WAVES? Maybe I'm wrong, but don't they use RADIATION? Something we are always told causes cancer and deformities and what not. Maybe the levels are low, but should we really be exposing the food we eat to this? Remeber when your mom said not to stand in front of it when it was cooking, casue it was bad for you?

    Scientists always reassure the public that it's such a low dosage of radiation it won't harm us, yet even they admit that it kills most of the nutrients in food. I never know what to believe but I wouldn't recommend spending long periods of time in front of a turned on microwave.

    Look into the difference between ionizing and non-ionizing radiation....
