I am not an expert in microwave nutrition but I don't use a microwave for a lot of things. Heating up oatmeal, heating up soup and that's about it. Otherwise, I prefer stovetop, oven or grill.

I find it highly unlikely that these results are an accurate representation of microwave heating's effect on water. My guess would be failure to properly allow for cooling in the unevenly heated water from the microwave, or failure to properly control for windowsill position.

Kevin C. - or even different properties of the soil, or the seeds. While interesting, a sample size of one (in each group) is too small to prove anything either way.

The article does say some the science class recreated the experiment a few times with the same results.

Jason ON - the article also talks about the microwave changing the 'energy' of the water, and how microwaves result in "destroyed vitamins, minerals and protiens" which is complete nonsense when talking about filtered water. I'm not looking for world-class science from someone in secondary school, but if her classmates repeated the same flawed experiment, it still doesn't mean anything. A larger sample size is needed to draw a conclusion.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
