a visit to south or decent to find out more the university of arkansas research is collecting all the available scientific studies that examine the connection between electromagnetic waves of fields and human health as in cash stored in because i m not aware of any studies that show that microwave ovens are harmful to human health things most that you do have to make sure that microwaves meet safety standards and don t exceed allowable radiation limits for god but there is a concept of. controversy over the possible health effects of electromagnetic waves are nothing new but people are usually more worried about cell phones and electro smoke from high voltage power lines and in that area the evidence of possible harm is more persuasive things is for life that want out the difference might be that when you re talking on the phone you re holding the cell phone to your ear the entire time. so you re exposed to the microwaves for longer. than the length of that site so if you re worried ab
a type of non ionizing radiation. actually we scientists when we re talking about microwaves refer to electromagnetic fields. so is food heated in a microwave healthy to eat. we asked gone to answer that question she s a science writer a nutrition expert who works in the field of consumer protection. it depends on what kind of food you re preparing in the microwave microwave ovens aren t inherently good or bad. what happens when foods that are good for you are heated in a microwave like broccoli for example. one spanish study that s been circulating online reported that microwaving broccoli destroyed most of its flat annoyed if true that would be problematic. as there is evidence that secondary
sure that microwaves meet safety standards and don t exceed allowable radiation limits for god but there is a concept of. controversy over the possible health effects of electromagnetic waves are nothing new but people are usually more worried about cell phones and electro smoke from high voltage power lines and in that area the evidence of possible harm is more persuasive things for life that want to see the difference might be that when you re talking on the phone you re holding the cell phone to your ear the entire time so you re exposed to the microwaves for longer because that s been funneling outside so if you re worried about electromagnetic radiation you might want to consider limiting your time on the cell phone. by comparison the risk of microwave ovens appears to be well within acceptable parameters contrary to what some people believe food heated in a microwave isn t irradiated only ionizing radiation such as x. rays or gamma rays can do that. microwaves are
the brain power for 1,001 electronic gadgets from wrist watches to microwave ovens. the mushrooming industry gives birth to a high tech cult and a place called silicon valley. the magic part of silicon valley is that there is this boiling pot of people who were involved in technology, involved in science. silicon valley was hp, sri, xerox and stanford university. that was a hell of a powerful combination. there were these two cultures, engineers with ph.d.s and hobbyists. it was a time when there was a lot of social ferment in and around the bay area. there was a lot of counterculture people. you had cheap semiconductors, you had people who would look at things differently than what the conventional person was and that s what the technology
electronic gadgets from wristwatches to microwave ovens. the mushrooming industry gives birth to a new high-tech cult and a place called silicon valley. the magic part of silicon valley is that there was this boiling pot of people who were involved in technology, involved in science. silicon valley was hp, sri, xerox park, and stanford university. that was a hell of a powerful combination. there was these two cultures, engineers with phds and hobbyists. it was a time when there was a lot of social ferment in and around the bay area. there was a lot of counterculture people. so you had cheap semiconductors. you had people that would look at things differently than what the conventional person was, and that s what the technology needed then. one of the things that was really hard about making a computer was now on a chip. so all of a sudden, people who had a thirst for this stuff could go out and buy a home brew
