I know there's some studies. But I have to wonder if they're sponsored by the toaster oven or other oven industries (incase their sales are down)
I haven't actually read them.

No - they're completely secure - i'm a microwave scientist and that i latterly gave a paper on the issue. Microwave radiation is amazingly low power radiation - it can not damage DNA, or smash chemical bonds. there is about 30,000 to 50,000 more advantageous power in seen gentle (what we see) than there interior the microwaves produced on your microwave oven. in words of foodstuff - all cooking reduces foodstuff, yet microwave cooking does it lower than the different style of cooking. each and every so often steaming provides similar outcomes, yet isn't almost as good different situations. And, do not problem about status in the front of it even as that is cooking.

Not only the microwave is bad in some cases, but persons fitted with pacemakers can not come around or use microwaves. Testing companies "at the request manufactures" do these test, and you would be surprised to see what is inside the inner shell or housing of a microwave after a few bags of popcorn. Lets say I'll never eat another bag of popcorn.
A company I spoke with, was testing a very common or average play toy at that time and this toy has been around for ages. It was discovered this "wooden" toy had very high levels of chemical components which was toxic.

Microwaves in general are not harmful. The ones that are used in microwave ovens are the exact resonant frequency of water, so when water is exposed to them, the H2O molecules vibrate and heat up. Humans are about 70% water, so this would heat up humans as well. not a good idea to say the least.

Microwaves can heat your body and cause injury. But microwave ovens are safe: the radiation is confined to the oven.

They are if the power level is high enough to cause tissue heating. ANSI standard C95.1 (1991) says 1.6 W/kg at 900 MHz.
