Microwave is essential for me to heat up the da pao food. I don't like my food to be cold.

Nobody (lay persons) actually know the truth. It is same for telecommunication (antenna) on roof tops as to whether their electro-magnetic field affects us on a long term exposure.

 

This is kind of like the debate around mRNA vaccines now, right?  Long-term effect, no one knows.

Anyway the idea that microwaves has a lasting polarizing or magnetizing effect on food molecules is as ridiculous as those "magnetizers" clipped onto car fuel lines, popular at one time.

From my days of working on semiconductor equipment that make use of RF or microwave generators for the processing, I know only one precaution ...better periodically check that all the waveguide connections are not leaking!! Same goes for microwave ovens, I suppose, there could be chance of leaks happening if the door seal is no longer in good condition. So just pop the food into the microwave and stay far away until it "dings"

can use other equipment like a small electric Conventional oven, very fast also.

At least microwave usage in the household is more than 50 years. Maybe minor leaks, but any major issue affecting the masses would have manifest by now.

Another lame ass story that starts with "my friend..." in it.

I still like my reply posted close to 10years ago.

Everyone knows microwaves are not safe.

Sorry to dig up an old thread.

Can I check something?

Do you folks take cooled drinks (e.g milk, liang teh  etc) from the fridge and heat it up using microwave oven and enjoy it as warm/hot beverage?

Are there bad side effects?

I dont think there will be any bad side effects if you don't do this regularly. i know many ang mohs use microwave to heat up cold milk and i have used them to boil water and cook cup noodles before. Some food like fried rice/noodle is best heated using microwave.

There was a recent youtube video from Tom Scott of an interesting story about microwaves. The one that involves hamsters, unshelded microwave generator, "re-animations" and  a 101 year-old Mr Lovelock

There is a difference between use and over use.
