Is Infrared Cooking Safe For My Health?

I do not believe that microwave cooking is safe for cooking. I have to wonder if the high use of microwave cooking has been a factor in the higher cancer rates we are seeing in the U.S. Would the infrared cookers be any safer or is the radiation exposure the same as microwave oven? Have there been any long term studies done regarding this?

    The truth is after the Germans found out the microwave reduced nutrients in vegetables 40 to 60% and turned red meat into a toxic carcinogen they never used them.   After the war Russia and the U.S.A. Divided up the spoils.  One of them being microwave ovens. They made them 500 watts so it would be safe.  Today they are 1100 to 1500 watts.   

       The REAL PROBLEM is that you get cancer of the small intestine from long term use. If you try to get better you cant get any real help from food because the small intestine too sick.


                                                                                                         Hope this helps.

                                                                                                         Good luck, Gary

      The Infrared cooking is not harmful in any way. It has been tested in Japan and Sweden and the research has found that it is free of toxic electromagnetic fields and is not dangerous.

      Interesting. Could you please quote some university or government studies that discuss "toxic electromagnetic" fields? Does that mean that electrical generating plants never spend any money on pest control?

      Hmmm... I wonder who "boris" works for? Check this link http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/3472383.stm
      The BBC discusses this topic in depth and offers additional sites to further investigate...
      Electromagnetic energy includes even gamma rays and x-rays.(X-Ray Techs don't shield you and avoid scanning pregnant women for nothing.) Oncology uses radiation(ionic energy) to kill certain carcinomas, because it is one of the few things that can. The risk of exposing a patient must outweigh the risk of leaving the malignancy untreated.
      Dr. Lita Lee of Hawaii reported in the December 9, 1989 Lancet: "Microwaving baby formulas converted certain trans-amino acids into their synthetic cis-isomers. Synthetic isomers, whether cis-amino acids or trans-fatty acids, are not biologically active. Further, one of the amino acids, L-proline, was converted to its d-isomer, which is known to be neurotoxic (poisonous to the nervous system) and nephrotoxic (poisonous to the kidneys). It's bad enough that many babies are not nursed, but now they are given fake milk (baby formula) made even more toxic via microwaving."

      In Comparative Study of Food Prepared Conventionally and in the Microwave Oven, published by Raum & Zelt in 1992, at 3(2): 43, it states "A basic hypothesis of natural medicine states that the introduction into the human body of molecules and energies, to which it is not accustomed, is much more likely to cause harm than good. Artificially produced microwaves, including those in ovens, are produced from alternating current and force a billion or more polarity reversals per second in every food molecule they hit. Production of unnatural molecules is inevitable. Naturally occurring amino acids have been observed to undergo isomeric changes (changes in shape morphing) as well as transformation into toxic forms, under the impact of microwaves produced in ovens.
      One short-term study found significant and disturbing changes in the blood of individuals consuming microwaved milk and vegetables. Eight volunteers ate various combinations of the same foods cooked different ways. All foods that were processed through the microwave ovens caused changes in the blood of the volunteers. Hemoglobin levels decreased and over all white cell levels and cholesterol levels increased. Lymphocytes decreased. Shall I go on??...

      MANY scientific research articles have been published citing these concerns and worse. Are there toxic electromagnetic energy fields??can they possibly be Deadly??? I am shocked anyone would dispute this. Unless they are involved in the manufacture or selling of microwave ovens, maybe ;)

      Has there been any research on the possible dangers or side affects of infrared cooking ovens? I can see that infrared ovens are safer than microwave ovens. But, I want to know if there are any dangers at all, with infrared cooking ovens.

        If wasting energy makes cooking safe then infrared is certainly safer than microwaves.  When you convert fuel to heat and from heat to electricity and then convert electricity back to heat you have wasted several times as much energy as if you had just used a gas stove in the first place.

        There are two types of people who "know" that microwave ovens (and electromagnetic fields for that matter) are unsafe: 1) people who fear what they don't understand and 2) people who have something to gain - like those who sell infrared ovens.

        There is no need to take my word for this, the World Health Organization website discusses the safety of microwave ovens on their web site: www.who.int

        It is interesting to note some of their advice: "temperature-sensitive tissue like the testes, have a higher risk of heat damage".  I guess you know what not to put in the oven if you want to be safe.

        The microwave oven was invented by the Germans. During this time they also conducted studies on the effects of the microwave on the food and the people eating that food. They concluded that the food was harmful to the health of the people. There are other studies to show this also. This is why the microwaves are not used by the mass of people in other countries. They are way ahead of the United States when it comes to the health of the people. We are a mess on the other hand. People are dying at younger ages because of our lack of health related knowledge.

        I don't care if the W.H.O says microwaves are safe... I don't trust the W.H.O...
