Eggs will explode if you cook them in their shells.

Well none of the radiation remains in the food after cooking so I'm not entirely sure I understand the question. The danger is for foods with any liquid content. Microwaves work by getting water molecules to vibrate - its the friction of the water that cooks everything else. Something with liquid content trapped inside could certainly be at dangerous temperatures and if you bit in to it you could certainly burn your mouth and tongue.
The only other danger would come from being inside the oven when its turned on. Try to avoid that happening to you.

It is known that microwave radiation in special conditions could catalyze some chemical reactions. The biggest fear is that some substances from the food are chemically transformed under exposing. Microwave (low power) exposing can drive to vitamin E loss. Butt i think there is no reason too be worry, peoples are using them for more than 50 years and there are no signs that microwave food heating is dangerous for health.

As stated in earlier answers, eggs in shells explode, however, whole eggs cooked outside the shell can also explode(yokes anyway).Other dangers; Heating fluids including water can be a danger when not stirred at regular intervals, a temperature layer can be created that when disturbed can cause the fluid to 'erupt' and scald. There is also the danger that food by be cooked unevenly, possible for some areas to be overcooked and others to be raw. Jacket potato's should be pierced as they can also sometimes explode whilst being cooked.

A few weeks ago I received a very informative email on the dangers of microwave cooking. If you care to post your email address, I can forward it to you.

It is said that microwavable food has compounds that cannot be recognised by the humanbody..In an experiment a plant is watered daily with microwaved water and the other with normal water....It is seen that the plant1 did not grow well and it has a dull color of leaves..It's better to reduce cooking in a microwave....

The most common injury is due to super heated liquid.
