Microwaved food is believed to contain microwaves. How safe is microwaved food ?

Microwaved food are one of the main causes of diseases.However,most people have ignored that fact over the years.

To know if microwaved food is safe,we need to know how the food is cooked in the microwave.A microwave oven cooked food by agitating the water molecules in the food,causing them to vibrate,which produces heat.Therefore,bacterias are destroyed
by the heat,which is one of the good point of microwaved food.

However,it also poses quite a number of dangers to the consumers.One of the biggest dangers is their lack of nutritional value.Food that are cooked in microwave tend to lose water.Therefore,they also lose a lot of their nutrients and minerals.

Toxic also may leeched out into the food during cooking and it may be potentially harmful to the consumer.As more and more people are getting busy,they tend to pack their food.One of the most common type of container that are use for packing microwaved food is plastic container and it may affect the chemical composition of the cooked food,which may results in harming the consumers.

In my opinion,microwaved food is still safe to be consumed.As long as we consume these type of food once in a while,there should not be any problems happening to us.

Below is a video on how food is cooked in a microwave oven.
