My wife's boss has had the microwave oven removed from her place of work because he says microwaves are dangerous. He cites the Russian ban on microwave ovens in the 1970's and has stated that seeds will not germinate in water that has been microwaved (so what are they doing to our food?! Or to us!?). Is this true? If so, is it not also true for boiled/distilled/de-ionised water? Is my wife's boss an idiot?
p.s. I am a science teacher, and know full well how microwave ovens work to heat food, but am interested in the prevalence of this absurd notion - send me your thoughts.
