As part of my course with The Institute of Integrative Nutrition I have been doing some reading about the dangers of microwave ovens. It is important not to believe everything you read, to look at WHO has conducted the study and then to make up your own mind, to trust your gut instinct.
The Institute of Integrative Nutrition refers their students to these articles:
Microwave Hazards by Anthony Wayne and Lawrence Newell
Microwave Ovens Destroy the Nutritional Value of Food by Mike Adams
After reading these articles I decided to get rid of our microwave oven. I have never been 100% comfortable in using it and these articles confirmed my fears. This left me with the perfect space for some cookbooks.
Yay, I love when people get rid of microwaves. You can bet there isn't one in this house :)

ReplyDeleteI do not like microwaves either. I love the idea of having a ready made cookbook nook as you let go of the microwave.
ReplyDeleteThanks Elizabeth. xxoo
DeleteYou and I are on the same wave length!! I love what you did to the your microwave shelf! Great post.
ReplyDeleteThank you Allison and thank you for visiting my blog. xxoo
DeleteMe too! I detest microwaves - don't trust them at all, and I believe it dimishes any nutritional content too. We have one though, a very very old one kept in the garage, and my husband uses it to warm a heat bag in winter! Thanks for sharing this info Julie xx
ReplyDeleteI NEARLY kept our microwave just for warming a heat pack, but I changed to hot water bottles instead. xxoo
