Очень неплохая статья. Хотя и немаленькая. Но о
чень рекомендую прочесть - о микроволновках.
Why did the Russians Ban an Appliance Found in 90% of American Homes?
By now, you probably know that what you eat has a profound impact on your health. The mantra, “You are what you eat” is really true.
But you need to consider not only WHAT you buy, but how you cook it.
Eating most of your food raw is ideal. But most of us are not going to be able to accomplish a completely raw diet, and we’ll end up cooking some percentage of our food.
...
The Nazis are credited with inventing the first microwave-cooking device to provide mobile food support to their troops during their invasion of the Soviet Union in World War II[14] . These first microwave ovens were experimental. After the war, the US War Department was assigned the task of researching the safety of microwave ovens.
But it was the Russians who really took the bull by the horns.
After the war, the Russians had retrieved some of these microwave ovens and conducted thorough research on their biological effects. Alarmed by what they learned, the Russians banned microwave ovens in 1976, later lifting the ban during Perestroika.
Twenty years of Russian research (and German studies as far back as 1942 Berlin) make a strong argument against the safety of microwave cooking.
Their findings led the Russian government to issue an international warning about possible biological and environmental damage associated with the use of microwave ovens and other similar frequency electronic devices (e.g. mobile phones).
I was not able to personally evaluate any of these older bodies of research, since those documents are now difficult to track down, so I can’t attest to their methodology or conclusions. All you can do is weigh their findings appropriately, as best you can.
The Powerwatch article cited above summarizes the Russian research quite well, which I will duplicate below.
Russian investigators found that carcinogens were formed from the microwaving of nearly all foods tested.
The microwaving of milk and grains converted some of the amino acids into carcinogenic substances.
Microwaving prepared meats caused the formation of the cancer-causing agents d-Nitrosodienthanolamines.
Thawing frozen fruits by microwave converted their glucoside and galactoside fractions into carcinogenic substances.
Extremely short exposure of raw, cooked or frozen vegetables converted their plant alkaloids into carcinogens.
Carcinogenic free radicals were formed in microwaved plants—especially root vegetables.
Structural degradation leading to decreased food value was found to be 60 to 90 percent overall for all foods tested, with significant decreases in bioavailability of B complex vitamins, vitamins C and E, essential minerals, and lipotropics (substances that prevent abnormal accumulation of fat).
I might add that this finding is supported by the 1998 Japanese study by Watanabe7 about vitamin B12 in milk, cited above.
... и т.д.
Небольшой перевод сути статьи -
"Почему русские запретили кухонный прибор, который находится на кухнях 90% америкацев?"
"Микроволновки изобрели немцы. Они использовали их для быстрого разогрева пищи во время войны. После войны русские 20 лет проводили с немецкими микроволновками биологические исследования.
Обоспокоенные тем что выяснилось, русские запретили микроволновки в 1976 году! Однако отменили запрет в "Перестройку"!
Микроволновки используют электромагнитные волны близкие к волнам мобильных телефонов".
"Русские иследователи нашли, что практически любая пища в микроволновой печи выделяет канцерогены. Микроволнирование молока и зерна превращает некоторые аминокислоты в канцерогены. Микроволнирование мяса образует канцерогены группы d-Nitrosodienthanolamines. Оттаивание замороженных фруктов в микроволновке превращает обычную глюкозу и похожие галактозиды в канцерогены. Микроволнирование овощей, особенно картошки, моркови, свёклы выдаёт образование канцерогенных свободных радикалов. Структурная деградация, снижающая питательную ценность пищи, обнаружена в 90% микроволнированной пищи".
Там ещё много чего в статье. В частности, в приведенном мной абзаце - о витаминах. Даже о преславутом витамине В12 (Бэ-12).

Кому надо, тот прочтёт. А кто не сможет прочесть, значит, оно ему не надо - всё-таки "должно остаться 500 миллионов".
