aluminum foil & alzheimer's disease...

[intrepidus6]

You probably get more aluminum from your drinking water and kitchen utensils than you would ever get from an aluminum bowl. If you're really that worried about light metals, you should probably invest in a water purifier.

Besides, with the shit going on right now in my life, I'd rather have alzheimer's disease when i'm 60 so i don't remember it. I'll probably be toking more often when i'm a senior than i do now, anyway.

I do drink purified water, thank you.
And, no, you don't want alzheimer's disease, (caused by aluminum or not) no matter how old you are, trust me.

Does nukeing your food really sound like a good idea?

Well I took a college course on packaging where we talked about microwaveable products.
It's not as harmful as you think.
infact, they're coming out with new microwaveable foods that are actually healthier than normal "stove cooked" foods.

yea... surprised me too.

[cained]

hold a flame under aluminium foil... see that smoke that comes off it.. what would that be? aluminium oxide? well whatever it is i dont think its gonna give you any health benifits, personally i just smoke spliffs
and if you smoked the orange bud X haze i get a spliff is strong enough

Nukeing something dostroys the melecular compond. It destroys all nutrinal value in your food, and when you eat it it is still nukeing, which makes little bits of you get nuked, and don't think the nukeing stays inside the microwave, anyone in your house is going to get nuked a little bit too.

ur getting nucked 24/7 and u cant stop it unless u go live miles underground in a lead bunker

That's cute.

OMG please.
You're trying to say that the action that a microwave has on the water molecules in food is nuclear fission?
You have GOT to be kidding.
If that were the case, I'd hook my microwave up to a steam turbine, then to the power grid, and register as a generation facility!
A microwave works by increasing the kinetic activity of water molecules, which in turn causes them to heat up, and your food gets hot.
No atoms are being split and rejoined.
Please.
I still don't like to microwave foods in anything other than glass or ceramic, because of the dangers of plasticizing compounds being released into your food.

Intrepidus, I really hope you are joking.
Microwaving something does NOT destroy the molecular compound all by itself.
The vitamins and enzymes that are vulnerable are the ones that are destroyed by HEAT, heat from any source.
And when you take something out of the microwave, it is not 'still getting nuked' (not that it ever was to begin with), it's still boiling because of the heat capacity of water to stay at that temperature after the heat source has been removed.

Reading that is like listening to someone saying, 'I don't understand how this works, therefore I fear it, and you should too'.

All I am saying is anything that does shit on the melecular level like that has the potential to cause harm. And microwaves are harmfull.

The smoke is frome your lighter, the grease on your hands, and the dust on the foil, you dumbass. It's called incomplete combustion.

But it doesn't- it just adds kinetic energy. Putting something on a hot stove adds kinetic energy too.
Do you eat barbecue? Cooking food unprotected over an open flame is more harmful because the process of combustion actually DOES change molecules.
Oh wait, you smoke.... changing molecules by combustion....uh oh, WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!!!! AAAAAAAH!
