Microwave
(cont’d): Microwave, as the name suggests use
microwaves. These microwaves are a form
of electromagnetic field (EMF) generated by a magnetron, vibrate at a speed of
2.5 billion times per second and causes water molecules in the food to resonate
at a very high frequencies and generate heat which heats or cooks up the
food. Microwave cooking begins in the
cells and molecules where water is present.
This energy is transferred into frictional heat and are called thermic
effect, added to this are athermic effects which are not measurable but are
thought to deform the structures of molecules and thus have qualitative
consequences.
Microwave ovens have to meet the
safety standards set by the FDA and who do you think provides the information
of these safety standards, no one knows, but FDA or any agency who approves the
use based on various criteria have to depend on the manufacturers who has to
give in writing that it is not harmful and dangerous to the public at large and
this is the basis on which such invention even if it is dangerous to the health
of the common public are brought into the market, based on the undertaking from
the manufacturer, these dangerous inventions are brought into the market for
public use. Once the Microwave is
purchased by you, does any of the FDA personnel or the authorizing agency come
to your house to check periodically whether there is a radiation leak in the
microwave in excess, no one comes to check but it is proved that radiation leak
does happen, even the within limit leak is harmful to your health. The standard also limits the amount of
microwaves that can leak from an oven throughout its lifetime of microwave
radiation per square centimeter, do you think the microwave maintains this
standard, this is food for thought for all of you who are using microwave. Tests have proved with EMF meter that even
brand new microwave emits significant levels of microwave energy otherwise
known as radio frequency radiation. What
this means is that when you switch your microwave on these EMFs permeate into
your home, traveling through walls, ceiling and you. In 2011, WHO classified this type of EMF
exposure as a class 2B possible carcinogen.
