Iris Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Yes. So does your stove. The stove does it at a different wavelength. The radiation coming off of the screen you're looking at right now is called light. Yet another wavelength. The word radiation is widely misunderstood and feared. But it's as common in the universe as gravity. Does a microwave oven make food radioactive? No. That would take a different kind of radiation, called ionizing radiation. A lot of it. What a small amount of ionizing radiation can do is kill stuff or damage DNA, which is why some food is irradiated to kill bacteria and pests. It doesn't matter that the food's DNA may be damaged, because the food is already dead. Your body isn't affected by the DNA in what you eat. Here is a complete list of every effect a microwave oven can possibly have on food. Ready? Make it hotter That's it. (Craig Good) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
