Do microwaves cause cancer?

Question

Is there confirmation, by documentation or any variation of attestation, of the imputation that thermal incrementation in alimentation preparation by radiation stimulation of molecular agitation has an exacerbation relation to accumination of carcinogenation?

Answer 1

The thermal heating effect of microwaves is well understood and is the basis for the heating action of microwave ovens. Some studies have examined the possibility of a link between microwave exposure and cancer. Results to date have been inconclusive. While some experimental data have suggested a possible link between microwave exposure and cancer, other studies have been unable to replicate these findings. In fact other studies have failed to find evidence for a causal link to cancer or any related condition. For more information about bioeffects of microwaves and radiofrequency energy see the Federal Communications Commission. Modern day microwave ovens are regulated as radiation-emitting electronic products by the Center for Devices and Radiological Health of the Health and Human Services Administration. The allowable leakage level (5 milliwatts per square centimeter at two-inches distance) for microwaves outside commercial microwave ovens is set at a low level generally believed to be safe for human exposure.-

You sound like you are a scientist. I am definitely not one! On the contrary, only an artist with no idea about it and not much interest. However, it seems to me there are all sources of microwaves and the sources (from natural to aggressive man-made) are unknown, therefore unproven. The main producers of microwaves (in technology) are manufacturers and military, so they are not going to look too hard at the effect on the population or the environmnet. Or even on mice. It is the bean-counters who rule the world and they are not going to allow research into areas which could close a business down if everyone became concerned about their products and the effect they have... It is only natural, even if deeply flawed at an ethical level.

My only insight into "research" and the reason why I clicked on "answer" to your question, was a study about the incidence of cancer along the old German-German border, especially along the Elbe Valley on the western side. Apparently the amount of radar and other surveillance technology based on microwaves was thought to be the cause for this so-called cluster, although it was difficult comparing incomplete data on both sides. I never did hear the result of that 1980s(?) study, but always wondered if it was one more that was quietly dropped or discredited as "inconclusive" as a political decision (rather than on purely scientific basis). I will be interested to see if anyone really is able to answer your question with other than quotes from sources which have an interest in answering in the negative supporting their own agendas...

Answer 3

well, you can recieve radiation from microwaves if you are not shielded properly, but your common household microwave oven has metalic screens designed so that the amplitude of the microwave is larger than the gaps of the screen.

Answer 4

Oh, Baby!!! get your nose out of the thesaurus!!

Microwaves, TV sets, Computer monitors, cell phones and the sun also cause cancer!!

Get back to the cave and think up some way to not use any modern convenience!!

Answer 5

yes, don't go inside !
