>>> The Russians - who have done the most diligent research into the biological effects of microwave ovens - have OUTLAWED THEIR USE and issued an international warning about the biological and environmental damage that can result from the use of this and similar-frequency electronic apparatus. <<< i'm finding this *real* hard to swallow. did you just say the use of microwave ovens has been outlawed in russia? since when? as for the rest, i think it's pretty safe to dismiss it as quackery. microwaves aren't going to hurt your food or you any more than the heat in an oven will. both methods break down nutrients, and carginogens can be found in just about anything if you look hard enough. not to mention all that talk of life-energy fields, brainwave distruptions, mind control, and various other things that don't exist in reality...some people must think your electric toothbrushes, flashlights and blenders are controlling your minds. and worse yet, some people believe those people. microwave ovens are sheilded. if you're concerned about yours leaking, get it tested before it starts forcing you to do things against your will. your cell phone will give you a more hefty dose of radiation that a microwave oven will....but i suppose those also cause cancer....not to mention the fact that they alter "life-energy" fields and open you up to invisible electronic weapons used against you for no particular reason. i know i'm being sarcastic and annoying to anyone who sincerely believes the government is controlling their minds through their doorbells, garage door openers and alarm clocks, but putting that aside, i've got to say that was one of the most non-scientific and flawed studies on microwaves i've seen in a long while (the first at http://www.all-natural.com/microwa1.html). if you really want to debate about microwaves and health (just don't bring up mind control and microwave magic), get yourself over to sci.med and sci.med.nutrition and ask the doctors and health buffs. don't say i didn't warn you, though. you might not last long. *********************************************************** EWAR-L Electronic Warfare Mailing List To unsubscribe or subscribe: send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the following text: unsubscribe EWAR-L or subscribe EWAR-L.
