Today’s installment of the Stupid Email Hall of Fame comes to us from The Domina. She writes:
“There is a longer article accompanying it. Who knows, maybe this is why so many people have cancer today.
Ten Reasons To Throw Out Your Microwave Oven:
Continually eating microwave processed food causes permanent brain damage.
The human body is unable to metabolize the unknown by-products created in microwaved foods.
Male and female hormone production is shut down and/or altered by continually eating microwaved foods.
The effects of by-products remain in the human body long-term.
Minerals, vitamins and nutrients are reduced by microwaving so that the body gets little or altered components that cannot be broken down.
The minerals in vegetables are altered into cancerous free radicals by microwaves.
Microwaved foods cause stomach and intestinal cancerous growths. This may partially explain the rapid increase of the colon cancer rate in America.
Long term consumption of microwaved foods causes cancerous cells to increase in human blood.
It also causes immune system deficiencies through alterations in the lymph glands and blood serum.
Eating microwaved food causes loss of memory and concentration, emotional instability and a decrease of intelligence.
Indeed, frying is the only form of cooking that has ever been associated with the production of trace amounts of dioxins in food. The problem stems from the fact that oils and fats typically used in frying contain triglycerides.
“Once these substances reach high temperatures from frying, the fats attached to this glycerol backbone begin breaking down into peroxide and other substances, including, in some cases, dioxins and PCBs, another known carcinogen,” Weese says.
Under the circumstances, she says, consumers would be better off putting away the frying pan and broiling your food instead.
So microwave away, and if you have a stupid email forward you’d like debunked/mocked, send it to me at bubblegumculture@gmail.com.
Nice, my crazy MIL goes down in infamy! I should forward her those links!
i think the problem is the food that goes into the microwave, not the microwave itself. the nation’s steady decline can only be explained by hot pockets giving everyone cancer of the brain. hang on, i better put this in an email to forward!
