Kitchen know-it-alls,beware!
廚房百科全書，要當心了！
We just started fact checking all those health warnings that everyone’s grown knowing, without ever knowing why.
我們驗證一下每個人成長過程中都知道，卻不明白為什么的健康警告。
We all want to take good care of ourselves,that's all, but sometimes, food myths can actually get in the way of good healthy decisions.
我們都想照顧好自己，僅此而已。但是有時，一些食物謬論卻防止我們做出正確的健康選擇。
So strap in folks, We’re bout’ to clear this food myths fog with some good old-fashioned science.
所以，安全起見，我們將以科學理論為你撥開食物謬論的迷霧。
FOOD MYTHS : Microwave ovens are bad for you and zap the nutritional value out of food.
食物謬論：微波爐對人體有害，會破壞食物營養。
Here’s the double whammy that we’ve been hearing for a long, long time.
這個雙重謬論我們已經聽了很長時間。
First of all, let’s take a look at how microwaves work.
首先，讓我們來看一下微波爐的工作原理。
You might be shocked to learn that microwave ovens use – we’ll microwaves – a form of electromagnetic radiation, kind of like light to target and excite the water molecules in your food to spin up to a state of hyperactivity.
你或許很震驚地發現微波爐使用一種電磁輻射，就像光一樣，來激活食物中的水分子，以極度活躍的方式旋轉。
The quickly rotating water molecule means your food heats up fast!
快速轉動的水分子意味著食物可以很快變熟。
Can microwave radiation be harmful to humans?
微波輻射對人體有害嗎？
Well, yeah, but radiation doesn’t always mean something is “radioactive”.
確實，但是輻射并不意味著“放射性”。
In this case it means energy “radiating” from a source.
在本文中的意思是從某個發射源發射出的能量。
Extended exposure to microwave radiation can have negative effects on the body.
過度暴露在微波輻射中會對身體帶來負面影響。
But the FDA has regulations on the amount of emissions that can come out of microwave ovens.
但是FDA關于微博輻射量有規定。
Over the entire life span of the microwave, it is limited to be that of 5 milliwatts of emissions per square centimeter, measured 2 inches from the oven surface.
在微波爐的整個使用壽命過程中，每平方厘米的輻射量限制在5毫瓦以內，從微波爐表面2英寸以內的距離。
That amount is, way, way below the amount that can hurt you.
該數量遠遠低于會對你造成傷害的輻射量。
And again that measurement is two inches away from the microwave.
再次申明，這是位于微波爐表面2英寸以內的輻射量。
If you were 20 inches away, it would be about 1/100th of that.
如果你站在微波爐20英寸以外的地方，輻射量是上述數值的1/100.
There has never been any research to show that microwave ovens cause any sort of long-term damage to people.
目前沒有任何研究表明微波爐會對人體造成任何長期傷害。
So let’s just drop it folks.
所以，讓我們放棄這種偏見吧。
Now as for your food, microwave ovens are designed to quickly effect water molecules.
對你的食物來說，微波爐是用來快速影響水分子的。
Even if they can effect other stuff in your food,they’re not on long enough to actually do so.
即使可以影響食物中的其他材料，也沒有足夠的時間產生影響。
Contrary to the myth, microwaves are actually one of the best ways to maintain its nutritional values.
與傳聞的謬論相反，微波加熱實際上是保持食物營養價值的最好方法。
This is due to the short cooking time and the lack of access water used to potentially absorb nutrients.
這是因為烹飪時間較短，也不用加水，不會吸收食物中的營養成分。
Microwaves save way more nutrients than boiling, steaming or frying for that matter.
微波吸收的營養比水煮，蒸和煎炸少得多。
