A microwave oven is a piece of equipment that many people have in their kitchen.
Some people cannot even imagine their life without this element, which helps to quickly and conveniently heat up dinner or even cook some dishes.
Microwaves are generally safe to use.
But oncologist Ivan Karasev explained in what situations the device can cause harm to health.
The Izvestia publication writes about this in more detail.
As the doctor noted, cancer appears due to cells that have genetic mutations, they appear constantly, but the immune system fights them. But a failure can occur when the system can no longer cope, which means that there is a high risk of tumor development.
The problem can be provoked by bad habits, viruses, radiation, and hereditary predisposition.
There is talk about a microwave, then if it is of high quality and in good working order, then there should be no problems. If we talk about broken equipment, then the risks increase.
As Karasev emphasized, when using such equipment, it is necessary to remember safety precautions. For example, you cannot stand too close to the equipment, there should be a distance of at least 50 cm.
