the first study... dont bother reading it...its too dumbed down for it to make sense scientifically... skimmed it, read a few parts... but didnt bother with most of it.

as for the second study... i skimmed it breifly, only spent about 30 seconds on it but as far as i can tell its testing the effects of microwaves(radiation) on living cells, DUH it will cause damage. thats why we dont put living cells in the microwave. and thats where the problem with heating blood will come from.


i critisized the first article for being simplified... well im about to do it too, and keep in mind im only a student and im doing this from memory, and it was awhile ago, forgive me if i make a few mistakes.

ok, heres how it works... its not actuially mircrowaves that your nuke-oven puts out, thier actuially of lower energy, i cant remember which category they fall under, but the reason they use lower energy waves is, that it's wavelength has the same frequency as the natural resonance frequency of water. this is the same thing as playing a note through a loud speaker or amp and having an insturment nearby and the string of that note will vibrate seemingly for no reason, its called forced vibration.

anyway... so these waves, they force water to vibrate, adding energy to the system(in this case, whatever is in the microwave) thats why things get heated unevenly, the dry parts of a meal or whatever is in the microwave wont have anything vibrating faster near it, so it will have no reason to warm up, thats often why the instructions on a microwave meal tell you to stir halfway through, rearranges the water so it can heat a different part of the dish.

thier safe, ive been eatin outta em all my life, twice today. im fine. almost picture perfect health.
