John,
Electricity being a chaotic form of energy transference, it's much more natural & desirable to cook by a steady flame. The quality of energy we use to cook with influences the quality of our food, and natural fire is of much better quality than artificial fire. As far as the cancer risk, I know I've read mention of it in macrobiotic literature, but I'm not really a good source because I don't have any research or even anecdotal data. The EMFs of course are a known risk. The lesser-known and as far as I know, scientifically unproven risk that you'll hear of in the macro community is that of the _energy/ki vibration_ of electricity being detrimental to human health & healing. (Though it may be scientifically unproven, I think that the experiences of many people may be just as worth listening to. If I had cancer, I'd have bought a gas stove immediately.)
This is a great discussion topic. Can anyone else add their experiences and knowledge about electric and non-electric cooking methods?
Wishing I was more knowledgeable
