"Is it true that Microwaves can cause Cancer? Let's Find Out"

Dream - Although often used to warm food, microwaves are considered to have negative effects on body health.

Not a few people consider that microwaves can cause cancer, especially if Sahabat Dream stands near it when it is turned on. This statement has garnered both support and opposition in various circles. This is because microwaves are still sold massively and used by many people daily.

Doctor Caesar Givani becomes one of those who are against this statement. He explains why the use of a microwave does not cause cancer along with how it works.

"How Microwave Works"

Microwave itself is used to convert electrical energy into electromagnetic waves, so that food molecules will be stimulated and its temperature will be warmed up.

"Having the Same Radiation as Mobile Phones"

"The microwave produces non-ionizing radiation equivalent to our mobile phones, so it does not have enough energy to ionize atoms or molecules," Caesar said in an Instagram post.

That is the reason why microwaves cannot cause cancer. The use of microwaves also cannot make food radioactive after heating.

"Can Maintain Food Nutrition"

Research also proves that microwaves can maintain the nutritional content of food quite well, so its composition is not disrupted after being heated.

"Danger of Using Microwave"

Although, the use of microwaves also has side effects. The use of microwaves to heat food in plastic containers such as BPA can cause hormonal disruptions.

Plastic materials can enter into food if heated and cause various side effects on health.

It is better not to use plastic containers or utensils when reheating food to prevent side effects on health. Use glass containers or stainless steel utensils for safer heating with food, especially if the microwave usage duration is long with high temperature.

Pay attention to the quality or freshness of the food you want to heat and consume so that your daily intake is maintained. Food that is not fresh can also have a negative impact on health after being heated.
