Fire is actually ionization of air. This air has very highly excited electrons. They fall back giving off infrared. This is why you see fire as red. When it is more energetic like on a bunsen burner, you get blue light. The blue light also means that there will be some ultraviolet, which is actually harmful to us. So when you are cooking over fire, you are using infrared, which is much more energetic than microwave.

To repeat, the only problem with microwave ovens is the high power they provide. Microwave itself is not a problem.

I hope to buy a microwave which actually changes the power intensity, instead of turning of the microwave lamp, when reducing power. Then I will be able to boil eggs in it. Currently the high intensity means that the food must be dipped in oil or water to actually cook it well. For heating it is fine.

Please have some logic, can you?

It is one think to be cautious, another to be panicky.

Don’t Panic. Our digestive system is designed to handle molecules that have been altered. Heck we have lived so far with so many poisons in our diet.

Opinions are nice to have, but they must be backed by the science.

And these two people did not even give their opinions. Just the science.

The problem with microwave is the intensity of the light. Its not with the light per say. So when you lower the power, you should ideally lower the intensity. But most microwaves actually just cook for smaller time.

I am not sure how to debunk this because while Robert was talking about science, this message only talks about perception. Well Perceptions can be misleading. It is perceptions that get you Low Fat high carb diets. Its not the science.

Science simply says that lower the frequency lesser the energy. Also lower frequency light is more easily absorbed.

Microwaves are the ideal way to transfer energy because they are absorbed more easily. The only problem with current microwave ovens is that it delivers a whole lot of power in a very short time. And there is no way to lower the intensity.

Emery, a recheck of your map or Google search, will indeed show that – Strasbourg is in Austria.

Lastly…in terms of energy microwaves are much less energetic than infrared waves. Cooking by broiling is shooting infrared from the stove heating element to the skin of the food causing the skin to heat and cook the food. Thus if you should by your theory be more concerned with eating broiled food than microaved
