Microwaves & Food
In a book I was reading the other day the author alleges that cooking foods in a microwave oven affects their nutritional value. He then proposed an interesting experiment:
1. Plant a few seeds in two separate containers with equal types of soil.
2. Water one container with plain water and the other with water that has been microwaved (he didn't state how long to microwave it).
He states that the seeds watered with the microwaved water WILL NOT germinate. Evidently the microwaves alter the molecular structure of the water and act the same with food.
Anyhow, I thought I'd share this since I found it interesting although I'm not quite sure I believe it. Maybe one of us can repeat the experiment to see if the author's right...
