　　The process of causing water molecules 1 in the food to resonate at extremely high frequencies and to convert to steam actually causes the chemical structure of the food to change. This causes food to lose almost 100% of its nutritional 2 value, and it alters the taste completely. Using a microwave to warm baby formula or breast milk is also a bad idea because it destroys almost all of the natural nutrients 3 and goodness found in breast milk, and it also converts trans-amino acids to biologically inactive (synthetic) cis-isomers. It destroys antibodies and bacteria-digesting enzymes 4 that naturally occur in breast milk. An amino acid known as L-proline converts to d-isomer, which is both neuro- and nephrotoxic (causes nervous system and kidney damage).

　　Our bodies cannot break down the foreign by-products which are created when food is microwaved. Nutrients and vitamins in the food are either severely 5 altered or even destroyed completely, rendering 6 the food void of any nutritional value. Food prepared in microwaves has also been known to cause intestinal 7 and stomach tumours 8. Cancerous cells in the blood have also shown a remarkable 9 increase in those who consume microwaved food on a regular basis. Even thawing 10 foods out in a microwave is dangerous, as it leads to the formation of carcinogenic substances in the food.
　　Chemical products from plastic, Styrofoam and even paper food containers are known to leech 11 into food when they are microwaved in these containers. BPA is one of the main culprits, which causes hormonal 12 imbalances, lowered sperm 13 count in men and various forms of cancer.
　　Other side effects of consuming foods prepared in a microwave include memory loss, emotional instability, long-term brain damage, a severely weakened immune system, altered male and female hormone 14 production and decreased levels of intelligence.
　　A recent study has also shown that microwave frequency radiation affects the heart, causing symptoms such as chest pains and irregular heartbeat rhythms.
　　Those regularly using microwaves have been known to experience a host of symptoms such as swollen 15 lymph nodes, headaches, dizziness, nausea 16, vision problems, frequent urination and extreme thirst, night sweats, insomnia 17, appetite loss and other sleep disturbances 18. Increased cholesterol 19 levels, decreased haemoglobin levels and a decrease in both red and white blood cell levels have also been reported.
　　参考译文：
　　微波炉促使水分子以极高的频率转动而产生热能的加热方式，实际上会导致食物的化学结构产生变化，造成营养大量流失，并且使味道完全改变。以微波炉加热母乳或是冲泡的牛奶不会是好主意，因为如此一来将会把母乳中的天然营养素破坏殆尽，并且将反式胺基酸转变为顺式异构体，摧毁母乳中所含有的天然抗体及消化酵素，另外一种称作左旋辅胺酸的胺基酸也会因此转变成具有神经毒素的右旋异构体，造成神经系统及肾脏受损。
　　我们的身体不能分解微波食物时产生的外来副产品，食物中的营养素和维生素不管是严重改变或是完全被破坏，都会使得食物变得没有营养价值。经常食用微波食物的人，血液中的癌细胞也会因此大幅增加，容易罹患大肠癌及胃癌；即使只是以微波炉解冻食物也不安全，会促使致癌物质在食物里形成。
　　微波的时候，盛装食物的塑料袋，发泡胶甚至是纸制容器中的化学物质也已经证实会逸散至食物当中，对健康产生危害；常见的 BPA (酚甲烷) 就是其中一种化学物质，不仅会造成人体的内分泌失衡、减少精虫的数量，甚至还会导致各种癌症。
　　其它食用微波食物的副作用还包括：记忆力丧失、情绪不稳、大脑长期受损、免疫力骤降、性激素失调及智力降低等。最近更有研究显示，微波炉所散发出来的高频辐射会影响心脏功能，造成胸痛及心律不整。
　　已知经常使用微波炉的人会出现以下症状：淋巴结肿大、头痛、头晕、恶心、视力问题、频尿、容易口渴、夜间盗汗、失眠、胃口不佳、胆固醇上升、血红蛋白及红白血球数量减少等。
