there are no health problems with cooking in a microwave
( all the radiation is converted to heat)
but, food doesn't tase as good in a microwave
its hard to crisp anything
its easy to have uneven cooking,
its easy to burn stuff,
the only thing about a microwave is that it can effect a pacemaker if its running.

All a microwave does is excite water molecules in food, thus producing heat. It does not change the nature of the food or leave any residual radiation. If fact, some foods, like vegetables, are better cooked in a microwave than in water because none of the nutrients are leached away into the cooking water.
Now, standing too close to a microwave, especially older models, is not recommended. Prolonged exposure to the rays has been shown to cause problems. But that is not the same thing as eating food heated in one.
