Kitchen know-it-alls,beware!
厨房百科全书，要当心了！
We just started fact checking all those health warnings that everyone’s grown knowing, without ever knowing why.
我们验证一下每个人成长过程中都知道，却不明白为什么的健康警告。
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.
我们都想照顾好自己，仅此而已。但是有时，一些食物谬论却防止我们做出正确的健康选择。
So strap in folks, We’re bout’ to clear this food myths fog with some good old-fashioned science.
所以，安全起见，我们将以科学理论为你拨开食物谬论的迷雾。
FOOD MYTHS : Microwave ovens are bad for you and zap the nutritional value out of food.
食物谬论：微波炉对人体有害，会破坏食物营养。
Here’s the double whammy that we’ve been hearing for a long, long time.
这个双重谬论我们已经听了很长时间。
First of all, let’s take a look at how microwaves work.
首先，让我们来看一下微波炉的工作原理。
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.
你或许很震惊地发现微波炉使用一种电磁辐射，就像光一样，来激活食物中的水分子，以极度活跃的方式旋转。
The quickly rotating water molecule means your food heats up fast!
快速转动的水分子意味着食物可以很快变熟。
Can microwave radiation be harmful to humans?
微波辐射对人体有害吗？
Well, yeah, but radiation doesn’t always mean something is “radioactive”.
确实，但是辐射并不意味着“放射性”。
In this case it means energy “radiating” from a source.
在本文中的意思是从某个发射源发射出的能量。
Extended exposure to microwave radiation can have negative effects on the body.
过度暴露在微波辐射中会对身体带来负面影响。
But the FDA has regulations on the amount of emissions that can come out of microwave ovens.
但是FDA关于微博辐射量有规定。
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.
在微波炉的整个使用寿命过程中，每平方厘米的辐射量限制在5毫瓦以内，从微波炉表面2英寸以内的距离。
That amount is, way, way below the amount that can hurt you.
该数量远远低于会对你造成伤害的辐射量。
And again that measurement is two inches away from the microwave.
再次申明，这是位于微波炉表面2英寸以内的辐射量。
If you were 20 inches away, it would be about 1/100th of that.
如果你站在微波炉20英寸以外的地方，辐射量是上述数值的1/100.
There has never been any research to show that microwave ovens cause any sort of long-term damage to people.
目前没有任何研究表明微波炉会对人体造成任何长期伤害。
So let’s just drop it folks.
所以，让我们放弃这种偏见吧。
Now as for your food, microwave ovens are designed to quickly effect water molecules.
对你的食物来说，微波炉是用来快速影响水分子的。
Even if they can effect other stuff in your food,they’re not on long enough to actually do so.
即使可以影响食物中的其他材料，也没有足够的时间产生影响。
Contrary to the myth, microwaves are actually one of the best ways to maintain its nutritional values.
与传闻的谬论相反，微波加热实际上是保持食物营养价值的最好方法。
This is due to the short cooking time and the lack of access water used to potentially absorb nutrients.
这是因为烹饪时间较短，也不用加水，不会吸收食物中的营养成分。
Microwaves save way more nutrients than boiling, steaming or frying for that matter.
微波吸收的营养比水煮，蒸和煎炸少得多。
