Microwave and cancer

I got this from Dr. Oz and thought of sharing with all of you…

Q: Does using a microwave increase my risk of cancer?

A: While it’s true that microwave ovens emit tiny amounts of radiation, studies have shown that they’re not nearly enough to cause cancer. A microwave could cause other injuries (like burns or cataracts), but only if it’s been damaged and starts leaking large amounts of radiation—an unlikely occurrence. If you’re worried your appliance may be faulty, replace it, or ask your state health department to test your level of exposure.

And there you have it! So stop being paranoid when using the microwave oven, mommies. You now have it directly from Dr. Oz himself.
