I attended a lecture by Glen Rein, PhD, biochemistry, on the subject. He
said that the microwave radiation causes amino acids to rotate around
portions of the molecule which have double bonds, which normally prevent
such rotation. They are known as centers of assymmetry. He also measured
the changes in the infrared spectrum of the water following microwave
irradiation. It makes sense to me, OTOH, why are people like my brother,
who lives on microwaved food still alive?
Jones Beene wrote, and
Mark Goldes responded:
The late John Ott, whose one time hobby of photographing flowers
opening for Disney movies became the beginnings of the field of
photobiology, speculated in one of the three books he authored that
microwaving food was probably harmful.

Some rather profound quandaries are often presented by experiments in
high school science fairs ... and often mainstream physics can only
guess at the answers:
