Why Microwaving Your Food is Actually Making You Sick

Aaron Hartman, MD argues that microwaving damages food by altering protein structure, destroying heat-sensitive nutrients like B vitamins, and leaching plasticizers from containers. He also claims microwaves change water structure and cites historical reports of Russia banning them and using them as weapons against embassy staff.

Don't microwave your food, it's actually making you sick. So I want to talk briefly about this. I still amazed by how many people do not know that using microwave food is actually really super bad for you. Why is that? The first thing is the radio waves that come from microwave actually change the composition of the proteins and foods. So if you ever had bread, for example, that you've microwaved right, and it has that gooey flavor, or you've cooked something, it has that chewiness that's weird. It actually causes a denuding or changing the in the protein structure which if you're familiar with how your immune system works, creates different protein structure your body can react with. So it's actually bad. The first thing is it actually heats your food from the inside out and superheats that. So it actually destroys heat sensitive nutrients like your vitamins, B vitamins and your antioxidants. The other thing that's really important to think about when you're microwaving your food is what is it sitting in or surrounded with? If you put it in a plastic container or you put in plastic wrap, you're actually leaching out the plastic plasticizers into your food. And for those of you who are familiar with microplastics, you greatly, greatly increase the amount of microplastics that get in your food that then you then eat. The other thing that's interesting about radio waves and microwaves, they're actually radio waves is that when they're used to heat an object and they superheat it, it actually also changes the structure of water that's in the object. Now it's a really interesting book, I mean a really interesting topic. There's a book written on this called the Fourth Phase of Water that talks about structured water and the importance of water. But the basic gist is that water comprises like 99.9% of all the molecules in your body and you want to have that water structured the right way. And radio waves actually cause a misalignment of the water molecules. Small nuance. The biggest issue has to do with plastic, the container you're putting in and the actual effect on the protein structure. And it also which can be inflammatory and actually lowers the antioxidants and nutrient value in your food. So if you want to eat healthy food, you really should use a naturally heated up, whether it's in a toaster oven, on a stovetop or some other way, but not heat up in your microwave. Sorry, but that's the reality. There's an article about this as well. That I have that we'll probably post somewhere on our social. So you can look at that if you want to take a little deep dive into all the nuances of this. On a side note, microwaves are actually banned in Russia before Paris Strikov happened because they knew how bad it was to the population. So a communist country trying to protect their people basically outlawed them until per Strikov, when they had access to more western things. That's when microwaves actually infiltrated into Russia to be used. Before that they actually were not allowed. And interesting enough, Russians are actually experts in microwaves and radio waves. They actually have been using it since the 1950s or 60s as actually a weapon. Strangely enough, if you were an American in the embassy in Russia, it was actually considered a high risk area. A lot of people got sick there. And one of the reasons why is the strange enough, the Russians would actually bombard the embassy with radio waves. And one of the results was most people who went there got some kind of weird illness. Weird fact, you can't make this stuff up. That's what's crazy. You really can't make this stuff up. So anyway, point is, don't use a microwave and there'll be an article associated somewhere you can take a peek at if you want to.
