WHY IS IT BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH TO COOK WITH A MICROWAVE?
Microwaving food changes healthy fats into harmful oxidized fats, which cause inflammation in the body. Chronic inflammation increases the risk of heart disease. Microwaves also change the normal molecular structure of amino acids into forms that are toxic to the body. Microwaving vegetables destroys 97% of the bioflavonoids, which are anti-inflammatory. Because of the fatty acid and protein destruction, infant formula should NEVER be microwaved.
Microwaves create unique radiolytic byproducts, which are not found in nature. These unique radiolytic byproducts increase the risk of cancer. They are also formed by the irradiation of food.
Lastly, cooking with microwaves does not give your brain a chance to get your stomach ready for digestion. Smelling and thinking about food causes the brain to send a signal to the gastrointestinal tract to get warmed up and ready for action. This warm up takes 15-20 minutes prior to eating. The speed of microwaves is convenient but because the warm up phase is skipped, you are likely to get indigestion, heart burn, pancreatic 
insufficiency, gas and bloating, and mal-absorption of nutrients.
All of these claims are based on what research? Unless you can back this up with reliable research, this is a bunch of chicken little “the sky is falling”. I have used a microwave for years and teach my students to use it because the research I have seen claims it conserves nutrients & energy resources.
