Are microwaves bad for your health?

Question

Are microwaves bad for your health?
I dont use microwave much put occasionally I use it to heat soup, defrost bread and cook potatoes for minutes before finishing them off in the oven. Does microwaving food harm you due to its radiation?

Answer

PUT A CELL PHONE IN YOUR MICROWAVE quotDO NOT TURN THE OVEN ON ! quot Then try to call it from another phone..brIf the phone in the oven rings you might have a leakage problem.brThe oven should not leak any signal out or in.brIf its working properly,,,There should not be any health problems.. Microwaves are there to cook the food and when its turned off quotITS GONEquotbrYou can buy leakage detectors at your hardware store...brHope this helps you out.......
