Do microwave ovens cause cancer? I keep hearing cell phones and towers cause cancer due to the radiation.
Microwaves cook by radiation as well and I'm wondering if using a microwave in your house to cook your food could cause you to get cancer?

I guess the microwave oven could cause cancer. But I've been using a microwave since 1986 "31 years" and I haven't gotten cancer from using the microwave.
A microwave doesn't put out enough radiation to really do that much harm.
