Is microwave harmful can it cause cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually not an issue: Here in California, the law requires Cancer Warning signs everywhere because everything we eat, touch, breathe can cause cancer. That's a reality of life. Everything on Earth can cause cancer, but the true question is, how likely is it to happen? Using a microwave oven from a few feet away, a few times a day, a few minutes each time, is unlikely to cause cancer. Life is about balance.
