I just saw a scientific experiment where they boiled water in the microwave, and the same amount on the stove. Then they watered 2 identical plants for 6 weeks. The one with the microwaved water died a slow and painful death. The one with the regular boiled water flourished!
I use my microwave as little as possible. I have never liked them.

I learned in class not too long ago that you should never put a baby's bottle in the microwave bc the radiation causes the formula to loose a majority of its nutrients. The same goes for vegtables. This is just my own conclusion, but I assume it zaps the nutrients out of most anything you put in it.
p.s. I remember watcing a special on 60 minutes or someting similiar years ago about people removing water (like what you would use to make hot coacoa) from their microwave and it would explode on them. Something about how water would normally boil, but sometimesin the microwave it doens't I am not sure why or if this still holds true with todays microwaves. Just something you might want to look into

The only time anything will be exposed to radiation eminating from a microwave is only a result of the microwave being old or broken. The whole function of a microwave is to excite sugar, fat, and water molecules. This excitement generates the heat that warms the food and typically dehydrates it as well.

No dangers, no radiation, does not make food bad. Personally, I don't like the taste of meat cooked in microwave, but re heated is fine. No, microwaves are not dangerous.

My friend had a pet rat while we grew up and he kept it on top of the kitchen microwave in its cage. Well like two years later it had this huge tumor growing on it. It was almost as big as the rat itself. It finally died one day. How sad.

there is still no scientific proof that microwave oven is dangerous 4 our health cos of its radiation.

Your only danger is if you have a pacemaker. The microwaves can stop it from working.
