Yup. It's like microwaving food... bad idea.
Microwaving baby formulas converts certain trans-amino acids into their
synthetic cis-isomers. Synthetic isomers, whether cis-amino acids or
trans-fatty acids, are not biologically active. It's dead food.
Further, one of the amino acids, L-proline, is converted to its d-isomer,
which is known to be neurotoxic (poisonous to the nervous system) and
nephrotoxic (poisonous to the kidneys). It's bad enough that many babies
are not nursed, but now they are given fake milk (baby formula) made even
more toxic via microwaving.
Guess that applies to programmers drinking lots of microwaved coffee.
Microwaves are operating on alternating current (AC). Food molecules -
especially the molecules of water, which you find in most foods - have a
positive and negative end in the same way a magnet has a north and a south
polarity.
The oven has a power input of about 400-1000 watts of alternating current.
As these microwaves generated from the magnetron tube bombard the food,
they cause the polar molecules to rotate at the same frequency billions of
times per second.
All this agitation creates molecular "friction", which heats up the food.
This unusual type of heating also causes substantial damage to the
surrounding molecules, often tearing them apart or forcefully deforming
them.
By comparison, microwaves from the sun are based on principles of pulsed
direct current (DC) that don't create frictional heat; microwave ovens use
alternating current (AC) creating internal frictional heat.
Actually a woman who had been given microwaved heated blood died because of
it. (They don't normally use microwave heated blood, but the nurse wanted
to warm it up quickly.)
Never mind that it's illegal to use a microwave oven in Russia, by state
law, since 1976 due to the damage they found the microwaves alone had on
humans.
Guess if I eat anything microwave heated.
