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.

But can you dry cats and puppies on a stove?

But wont it burn their feet? LOL
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.
