Claims that microwaving food alters its chemistry, despite consensus that microwaving food does not adversely affect nutrient content compared to conventionally prepared food. *Claiming cancer risks arise from mobile phone radiation, which is pseudoscientific. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Mercola https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Mercola
