I have a microwave oven for 15 years how unhealthy is it?I'm using it every day.?

Answer 1

It's not cooking with the oven that's unhealthy. However, if you are only using it to nuke prepared foods high in fat and sodium then it is very unhealthy
If you want to use the oven to prepared some nice meals, Barbara Kafka has a great cookbook called the microwave gourmet that has some very good and healthful recipes.

Answer 2

hi
its interesting becoz ive been using the microwave for 17 years and it is really unhealty
microwaves are very harmful if u are near them, especially a microwave that is 15 years old becoz there are definately areas that u r being directly exposed to microwaves
ive always suspected microwave s but i read a article of the dangers of microwave use i threw mine(my parents) microwave out..its been 3 weeks now, u dont need a microwave there are other alternatives liek toaster ovens

Answer 3

My first microwave was bought in 79, it was a Kenmore. I used it for almost 25 yrs. When I moved, and took it to our new home, I guess the ride, did it in, as it didn't work after plugging it bit the dust. I really liked that microwave, but sometimes we have to let go of things that no longer serve a purpose. ;)

Answer 4

I got my first micro back in 1980. I have been microwaving food for all that time and it doesn't seem to effect my family very much. I don't use it for cooking every day,,,but I do use it for reheating every day...I use it to steam veggies,,,bake potatoes,,,make popcorn,,,,,My DH uses it everyday to reheat coffee,,,which grosses me out,,,but he seems fine, other than this odd thing about drinking old coffee... : )

Answer 5
