Is There a Relationship Between "Microwaves" and Cancer?

Oncologist Dr. Snezhana Gining confirmed that "there is no relationship between the use of microwaves and the incidence of cancer." In an interview with "Lenta.ru," she stated: "Microwaves heat food using radiation, and this fact has spurred rumors about their dangers for several decades. Microwaves belong to the electromagnetic spectrum, which is broad: it includes radio waves, infrared radiation, radiation emitted from mobile phones, Wi-Fi, television, X-rays, and even ordinary visible light. She pointed out that the effect of waves depends on their frequency." According to her, low-frequency waves, used to heat food in microwaves, cannot change the structure of atoms. She noted, "Microwaves are equipped with a built-in wave source called a 'magnetron.' From there, radiation enters the oven chamber and reflects off its walls. When the waves reach the food, they cause the water molecules present in it to 'vibrate,' generating heat. The turntable rotates to ensure even heating of the food." She continued, "Food heated in the microwave contains no dangerous waves or radiation and is not radioactive. However, in all cases, it is not recommended to use malfunctioning microwaves. Furthermore, one should never place plastic containers not designed for food heating in them, as using ordinary plastic can lead to the emission of toxic substances."
