Because they use very high radiation beams to make water tremble for as much as 20.000 times the normal speed, so that it actually breaks the molecules and stores the energy, making one digest too-high-energy materials that can, on the long run, harm you and everyone else?

Buried in all your information about the effects of microwaves on water molecules is the apparent question you are asking, which boils [sic] down to "Does microwaving leave behind too-high-energy materials" and the answer is no, since microwaving works on conductive materials, excess energy is rapidly drained away.

Well exposure to microwaves will not do you any good certainly. You are 80% water so any device which can heat that up isn't going to be good for you. I'm not an expert but I would imagine burns and large scale cell death would result. There may also be issues around DNA damage and associated carcinogenic effects.
