Is it true that eating microwaved food often may produce carcinogenic substances?

Hello, the invention of microwave oven has brought us a lot of convenience, but recently some people say that eating microwave-heated food will not only cause the loss of nutrients, but also may produce carcinogenic substances, so is it true?

First, the microwave oven works mainly on the water molecules in the food, and if you go to buy a microwave oven from a regular manufacturer, it's generally safer, and won't cause damage to your health. In addition, the thermal efficiency of the microwave oven can be maintained at more than 80%, so the food heated by the microwave oven will cause less nutrient loss.

Secondly, the production of carcinogens is related to the temperature, but not the heating method. For example, when the temperature of the food exceeds 200 degrees, the proteins in the food can produce heterocyclic amine carcinogens, as long as the oil is too hot, the food is burnt, or the food is burnt in the microwave oven, such as the temperature is too high, and any kind of cooking method can produce carcinogens.

Third, then how to use the microwave safely? To give you three suggestions, the microwave oven is turned on does produce a certain amount of radiation, so we still have to stay away from the microwave oven, at least keep a meter away. Secondly, with metal utensils, tinfoil do not put into the microwave oven to heat, because the metal utensils in the heating process will produce sparks, thus affecting the reflection of microwave, microwave oven damage. The last point is also very critical, is never disposable plastic utensils with microwave heating, some ordinary plastic products in the heating process will release toxic substances, thereby contaminating our food, eat into the body it will jeopardize our health.

There is also a point to be made that those with shells of food can not be put into the microwave, may cause an explosion. So the above is an introduction to today's content, I hope to help your life.
