90% of American homes have a microwave oven. Did you know hospitals no longer use microwave ovens to heat frozen breast milk or frozen blood used in transfusions? The reason is shocking and research from the Russians led to a ban on microwave ovens in their country because of doubts regarding their safety.

I got rid of our microwave ages ago - Reclaimed my love of pressure cooking - it's an even faster way to make absolutely fresh food. :)

@Glenway - thanks! Google microwave dangers. There was also a case where some preemie babies got ill and one died from microwaved breast milk but the case is actually still pending so I didn't use it as a reference. The lady that died from the blood being changed at a molecular level from a microwave was proven without a doubt.

@Chicka - that's very true - it does continue to distribute heat the downside is that the microwave destroys nutrients in food so you're not doing your body any favors. That's so cool you have a Jessica!!!!

I've always suspected that microwave ovens where not as safe as they were made out to be. This just confirms it. I believe when they get it all figured out, that microwave will be remembered in history as one of mans biggest mistakes.
