Microwaves

well yeh its more complex than that, im just sayin it gives food to thought. and gives light to a fairly ignorant subject. no need to get all bossy

 

It didn't shed light on anything!

 

well ok then, maybe not to u, but maybe to someone else. maybe someone was curious about it, not u obviously, now can u stop being so mean please, thanks

 

I'm not being mean. I'm just stating my opinion of the video you practically begged Asmodean to watch. He mentioned the microwave three brief times and supported it with no data.

I'm sorry pointing out the facts (or lack thereof) hurt your feelings.

 

well ur stating your opinion in a rather hash way i feel. its just a microwave no need to get all defensive about it

 

I'm not seeing the harshness, my apologies.

I think it was a low quality video and I'm supporting reasons why.

I'm just assuming that since you didn't realize that the video was... less than informative... you yourself probably didn't watch the entire thing.

 

no i did watch it, only because he has other videos which i agree with. maybe not so much on this video tho, i agree with that. but it opened my mind to the microwave lol and makes me wanna do more research on it. and im sorry as well, if i was being rude in ne way peace

 

An Arnold Schwarzenegger famous quote:

^(Twins movie)

I have a cheap Galanz microwave with twist dials that I got from Wallyworld a couple years ago.

The most important part about it is the turntable! :2thumbsup:

thanks for the post. i stand corrected

 

I think the fair thing to say is that food designed to be 'cooked' in a microwave is not necessarily as healthy as food you may make yourself (as it will be processed).
It generally can also be 'cooked' in a conventional oven (cooker) and STILL will not be necessarily as good for you as food prepared from scratch.

But it is not the process of 'cooking' it in a microwave that is the reason it is not as good for you.

Nutritional degradation occurs from heating food, and occurs however you decide to heat food.
The article I posted suggests heating food in a microwave is not as bad as heating food in a conventional oven.
Nobody has suggested heating food in a conventional oven removes the nutrients from food - I wonder why that is!

It isn't the cooking process, it is the food itself.

If anybody wants to stand behind the notion 'radiation' from a microwave is 'bad'/going to do you harm - then why would you have a microwave in the first place?
Where is the evidence for that?

If anybody wants to stand behind the notion heating - lets say a potato - is significantly different than heating a potato in a conventional oven - then where is the evidence for that?

 

If you simply eat twice as much you can heat your meal in the microwave without worrying about not getting enough nutrients out of your food :cheers2:

 

A microwave does not remove half of the nutrients from food. It removes as much or less than a conventional oven.

 

That's why I said simply. It's the easy way to get enough nutrients out of a microwave meal

 

No, you are playing into a myth microwaves remove half of the nutrients from food. The same thing a few others have done. It isn't that honest, is it?

 

Not if I was entirely serious perhaps.

 

It's not helpful to be disingenuous.

 

I'm sorry that I didn't try to be helpful on page 8 of this thread

 

Why does the page No. matter?

 

I tried to be a bit more helpful earlier in the thread. Just thought I'd specify it for your pleasure. I would not seriously recommend people to eat twice as much just because there might be some nutrient loss during the heating I thought it was obvious.
If I was less obvious (by stating it was a joke) it often takes away from the humour. That's why people take the risk of posting a humourous remark without explaining it sometimes.
