Personally I don’t think so:

Some practical experience: it uses microwaves to accelerate the molecular movement in the food to achieve the purpose of cooking, and the food itself does not leave microwaves and other elements behind. ;

But please stay away from the microwave oven when cooking. There will be microwaves around it when it is working, which will be harmful to the body for a long time.

But it’s better to make it yourself when you have time. After all, we have been eating fried, steamed and fried food for so many years, right?

Reference material: practical experience

Since September and October, when microwave ovens have entered the peak sales season of "Golden Nine and Silver Ten", there have been reports one after another about the harm of microwave-processed food to human health. Seen online and in newspapers, these reports once again brought up the cliché theory of "microwave ovens are harmful":

First, microwave ovens can cause electromagnetic radiation and microwave leakage;

Second, using microwave ovens for heating , will cause serious loss of the nutritional value of food;

Third, when you eat microwaved food, your body will concentrate on producing certain harmful changes.

Relevant experts believe that these arguments are groundless.

Cao Enhua, a researcher at the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and an expert in radiation biology, believes:

Microwaves can be widely used in communications, remote sensing and other fields to benefit mankind; and the invention of the microwave oven was in the 20th century One of the major inventions, there is currently a lack of convincing evidence as to whether processed food is harmful to the human body. It is obviously irresponsible to make false claims that "microwave food is harmful to the human body" before rigorous scientific testing.

Relevant state department officials also stated that they have not received any reports that microwave food is harmful to the human body. Some say the Soviet Union outlawed the use of microwave ovens in 1976 and issued a global warning. According to an investigation by the overseas department of Galanz, the world's largest microwave oven manufacturer, the former Soviet Union did not issue a warning to ban microwave ovens at all. Instead, the translator misinterpreted the meaning of the original text. The original text said that attention should be paid to preventing leakage of microwave ovens. Now Galanz exports to the former Soviet Union every year There are more than 300,000 microwave ovens in the Soviet Union, and the trend continues to rise.

According to Zhang Tienyan, deputy director of the China Household Electrical Appliances Research Institute, deputy director of the National Household Appliances Quality Supervision, Inspection and Testing Center and the National Commodity Inspection Bureau Import and Export Household Appliances Accreditation Center Laboratory, the radiation generated by microwave ovens when working is even greater than An ordinary fluorescent tube is less. The current international standard for microwave leakage from microwave ovens is no more than 5 milliwatts per square centimeter, which will not cause any harm to human health. my country's microwave oven leakage standard of no more than 1 milliwatt per square centimeter is even stricter than the international standard of no more than 5 milliwatts per square centimeter. In developed areas such as Europe, America, and Japan, every household uses a microwave oven, but I have never heard of them suffering from nutritional deficiencies.

Adair, a female professor of physics at the University of Wisconsin in the United States, has been studying the effects of microwave radiation on small animals and humans for more than 25 years. She once put squirrel monkeys and other animals into a microwave chamber for irradiation, and those small animals He was very excited in the microwave room, but a little reluctant when he came out. In addition to entering the microwave room in person, Adair also invited volunteers of different ages and genders to conduct the same experiment. As a result, their feelings were similar to enjoying the bright sunshine. She explained that although microwaves, X-rays and gamma rays are the same type of radiation, their quantum energies are millions of times different. She points out that the only way microwaves can kill a cell is by causing it to "heat to death" itself, and the radiation leaked from a microwave oven can never reach that level.

According to testing and analysis by the food hygiene supervision department, when cabbage is cooked in a microwave oven, the loss rate of vitamin C is 4.76%, while the loss rate caused by traditional cooking methods is 19.04%. In addition, after microwave cooking, the presence of minerals and amino acids in food is much higher than that of other cooking methods. If you cook hoof in a microwave oven, the eight essential amino acids will be 98.6% of those before microwave heating. Nitrosamines are produced during the processing of foods such as cured meat, bacon, salted fish, and smoked duck. As a preservative, nitrite reacts chemically with food to produce nitrosamines, which can cause cell cancer. . American pharmacologists have found that if you bake bacon in a microwave oven for 45 minutes, it will be fragrant, crispy, and delicious when you take it out. Moreover, if you use chemical analysis, no trace of oxamidamine can be found.

As for the emerging theory that microwave ovens are harmful, Chen Gang, deputy secretary-general of the China Household Electrical Appliances Association, believes that this is a manifestation of unfair competition in the home appliance industry. He told reporters that in recent years, my country's home appliance industry has been in a situation of oversupply and fierce competition. In order to compete for the market, there have been many unfair competition practices in China's home appliance market that took the opportunity to slander their peers, but this is the first time that such practices have been used to slander many microwave oven manufacturers and cause a sharp decline in sales in the entire industry. "The China Household Electrical Appliances Association will issue a solemn statement: Microwave ovens will never affect people's health," Chen Gang said.

The crux of the matter is who is responsible for these arguments and their dissemination. In China's home appliance industry, more than one case of microwave ovens has suffered like this. The "theory that inverter air conditioners are harmful" that was circulated in April last year also caused criticism in the industry, but this phenomenon eventually came to nothing. The relevant person in charge of Galanz said that all relevant parties should work together to maintain the stability and orderliness of China's microwave oven market and the healthy development of the entire industry, and protect the healthy growth of Chinese famous brands.
