I heard Dr Stephen Sinatra, who authored the "earthing" book, claiming that microwaved water given to plants will kill them in a few weeks.

The fact, if it is so, seemingly suggests that food cooked in microwaves may indeed have health implications.

Thoughts?

Interesting Steve. Hard to believe no one has bothered with a study with a larger sample size.

I might do it myself soon since i am kind of a plant guy anyway.

I am not much into believing the blind control part, but to appease the sceptics perhaps I could have my wife play one of the roles.

For those who think this is cruel to plants- sorry.

I should add that if this is all Sinatra based this statement on, it is very weak evidence and he should be embarrassed to have made the claim.

That being said I would not be surprised if it were true

mattnapa, if you do the experiment, please let us know the results.

I refuse to use my microwave oven. Mine leaks and I could measure microwaves coming from it with a special meter standing maybe 10 or more feet away in my living room.

That added to the fact that I'm now electrosensitive and can actually 'feel' cell phone and wifi signals in my lower jaw and at the base of my skull, there's no way I'm using any device that gives off microwaves, including a cordless phone or cell phone. The towers are just as bad...read this...

...They suggested putting up a wire mesh or water curtains, or growing plants to prevent radiation from cell, TV or FM towers in the vicinity of 500 metres to one km...

One could only hope it would work for weeds.

My sister used to teach school and for a science project they tried it. IT WORKED! The microwave water fed plants died and the spring water fed plants thrived.

It is true people, that microwaved water kills plants at least.

We don't even own a microwave. It can't be very good for you. It essentially kills the nutrients in your food.

I checked this further on the net, and most links are playing it off as a hoax.

sickntired 19- I assume the class did not pour the water on the plants when it was hot?

I will definitely try this as well. I like nothing more than things you can verify for yourself when moneyd interests are perhaps trying to control the information
