so I wanted to do this quick video on a

question that someone had about using

the microwave oven okay

now the type of radiation that you’re

getting with microwaves is non ionizing

radiation it’s still radiation but it’s

of course not as dangerous as getting a

cat scan or x-rays but it’s still giving

you radiation which can create some

problems now there are some long-term

studies that do show that using the

microwave may give you a cancer-causing

effect in laboratory animals especially

rats so if you are going to feed your

pet rats definitely do not use the

microwave and they can’t produce

cataracts and one of the big questions

that people want to know is that if I

use my microwave is that going to lower

my nutrients compared to other types of

cooking and the answer is absolutely yes

it can reduce your nutrients from 5 to

40% or more depending on how long you

cook the food in the microwave I mean

just by using the microwave for 60

seconds you can inactivate key

phytonutrients from 96 to 100 percent

versus steaming which is only 11% using

the microwave can also increase the

glucose and insulin response it can

increase more free radicals it can also

oxidize cholesterol which is another big

problem and on top of that if you’re

cooking food in a plastic container

you could potentially release up to 44

different chemicals including benzene so

my recommendation is this if you’re

going to use the microwave don’t use it

on a regular basis but then secondly try

to use it for the minimum amount of time

so if you have something you’re gonna

cook that takes a long period of time

let’s say three or four or five or six

minutes use your stove and lastly and

most importantly I would not cook in

plastic I would use either glass or some

type of material that you’re not going

to leach out chemicals alright thanks

for watching

so if you enjoyed this content I have a

favor to ask you

if you wouldn’t mind writing an unbiased

review I put a link down below for more

information on how to do that and thank

you in advance
