All these while the understanding is, microwave is safe. I just received a forwarded email that showed it may not be safe. I have no idea who the originator of the email is though. Can anyone help to clarify whether what is said is true or not... I'm a bit worried...

"Below is a science fair project that my granddaughter did for 2006.
In it she took filtered water and divided it into two parts. The first
part she heated to boiling in a pan on the stove, and the second part
she heated to boiling in a microwave. Then after cooling she used the
water to water two identical plants to see if there would be any
difference in the growth between the normal boiled water and the water
boiled in a microwave. She was thinking that the structure or energy of
the water may be compromised by microwave. As it turned out, even she
was amazed at the difference.

For years I have known that the problem with foods that have been
microwaved, radiation is not what people need to worry about; it's how
the microwave process corrupts the DNA within the food so much so that
the body cannot recognize it.

So the body wraps it in fat cells to protect itself from the dead food
or it eliminates it fast.

Think of all the mothers heating up milk in these "Safe" appliances.
What about the nurses in Canada that warmed up blood for a transfusion
patient and accidentally killed them when the blood went in dead.

But the makers say it's safe. Never mind then, keep using them. Ask your
Doctor. I am sure they will say it's safe too.

Proof is in the pictures --- of these living plants, dying. Remember we
too are also made of Living Cells."

I always microwave the water and then add formula. You don't have to worry about hot spots if you shake the bottle - pretty common sense really.  Interesting thought about the microwave and plastic bottles, but what aobut microwave sterilisers?  Does that mean they are not safe either.  I would have thought that companies like Avent who make microwave sterilisers would ensure that their bottles were then microwave safe or they would risk huge law suits.  But then again you never can tell these days though can you!!!!

Sure! The study does make an interesting point and I do wonder...It seems there are so many opinions, for and against.

I tend to agree with janelle, you would think there has to be some safety to the microwave, surly?? But i guess its another one of those topics that comes down to - Every One To Their Own.
