Following are some references that I found in the Sept. 93 issue of a North
American "Health & Healing" news letter edited by Dr. Whitaker.

14:224-228.
2) (Commentary on a review article, "Microwave: Scientific Proof of
Dangers," from the Journal Franz Weber 1992; 19:3-10.
3) Yoshida, Hiromi, et al. Effects of microwave cooking on the molecular
species of pumpkin seed triacylglycerols. Nutr. Reports Int. 1988;
37(2):259-268.
4) Biship CS, Dye A: Microwave heating enhances the migration of
plasticizers out of plastics. J. Env. Hlth., 1982; 44:231-235.
