What happens to Food in Microwave ?

 
     
 
Microwave ovens emit two types of radiation: the microwaves or high frequency radio waves, and the 60 hz magnetic fields.
Atoms, molecules and cells hit by this hard electromagnetic radiation are forced to reverse polarity 1 to 100 billion times a second. There are no atoms, molecules or cells of any organic system able to withstand such a violent, destructive power.
Microwaves violently vibrate the water molecules in food, thus creating internal friction and heating the food from the inside out, while other forms of heat, including the sun do not create friction heat in Organic substances. The radiation, created by Microwaves, results in the destruction and deformation of food molecules, plus the formation of new radiolytic compounds, which are substances, that are formed through the subjection to radiation. These compounds occur much more, when food is cooked with microwaves, than food, that is cooked by conventional means. Researchers are still trying to determine the long-term effects of these Radiolytic compounds.
Is it possible, that we are ignorantly sacrificing Health on the altar of convenience?
