Harmful effects of microwave go back to original designs many years ago that leaked microwaves outside of the oven. That has been corrected for a long time...Newer microwaves do not leak. As for effect of microwaves on food, they cause the water in the food to heat up and cook by steam. There is no residual effect once shut off. See this statement from the World Health Association https://www.who.int/peh-emf/publications/facts/info_microwaves/en/
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi, Infrared energy is around us all of the time. The biggest source is the sun, but incandescent light bulbs and space heaters also create infrared energy. Think about it this way. Ultra violet radiation from the sun tans or burns our skin, so we use sunblock, but the infrared radiation is what keeps us warm. Our own bodies also radiate infrared energy as our bodies produce heat. Hope this helps.
