as far as I can recall from some articles some years ago,
there had been done 3 "serious" scientifical researches on microwavs ovens.
One swiss scientist wrote a report after some research: he discovered that 
after
ingesting microwaved food, the blood structure changed and showed 
characteristics that
you find in early stage of cancer...
he was squeezed out of his position in research by important electrical 
industry
lobbies: no money, no right to publish, no right to research to afine and 
pursue the
research. (it is said that it ended in European Court, and he won back the 
right of
publishing  as a  right of free expression)
I read about two other research, one financed by the industry that did not 
find any
harm in microwave and an other one that was neutral. at that time it was 
recommanded
though not to warm up milk for babies (just in case)
actually the high energy microwaves change the quality og long protein chains 
making
them less valuable as nutrients or harmfull. (meaning that microwaved 
ingredients are
no more suitable as food)
IMHO there is a  more need for further research.
It seems to be common in bio.labs to use microwave ovens to sterilize 
equipment, that
is kill all possible life-
i do not like the idea of eating dead food, as I see food as the essential 
support of
the life of my body:
feed life with life
other stories from some consumer report on the ovens showed that  a very large
majority of those did not comply external radiation limitation, the leaking 
is also
radiating outside the box, that means exposing you and your brain (as those 
ovens are
often placed high) to those deadly radiations....
Microwave ovens participate too to the fast food, stressed model of society...
prepare food with love
as mentionned by some one, many nutritionnist (from the alternative schools:
macrobiotic etc.. will tell you that the food remembers how it is warmed up, 
and
microwaves are nothing good to forward your stomach...
I keep off the micro wave


bon apetit
