I am listening to it right now, and at around the 38:40 minute mark he talks about this. He says, not much reason to worry about the waves hurting you because the microwaves are pretty protected now with the proper shielding. He did say to not stand near it while its on. Also, he says nothing wrong with the food from it, he says its basically the same as boiling the food. Only damage would be from heat damage.ltu01001 said:I guess its ok to heat food in a microwave oven?
