Terry, I received this email yesterday. What do you think? ------------- "Sorry, but as far as I can tell it is 'study', singular, and it was apparently not peer reviewed. If there were corroborating studies then wouldn't you think they would be linked at mercola.com? Because they aren't linked, I think I am safe in declaring that there are no supporting studies.
This whole silliness came from one man, Tom Valentine. He is widely known as a flake and totally unreliable source of all sorts of unprovable claims. As a matter of fact he has now been forced on his website to admit that there are no clinical studies that support this single Swiss 'study'. The internet is a large place these days, doesn't it strike you as strange that when you google for the subject you only come up with this one 'study'? Also, now that international communication is the norm these 'microwave ovens are dangerous' folks no longer push the lie that the Soviet Union outlawed microwave ovens because of the health risks. My question to you is why are you ready to believe and actively promote something like this with absolutely no evidence but what amounts to one man's opinion?" -------------- -Ken Bagwell --- Terry Chamberlin <tcj...@yahoo.ca> wrote: > On the microwave oven topic, some have said this, > some > have said that, but it seemed to me that we should > look at any legitimate research, rather than > conjecture. > > One short-term study found significant and > disturbing > changes in the blood of individuals consuming > microwaved milk and vegetables.
