Yes scientifically speaking its not safe to have Microwave cooked food. There are a lot of reserches going on the ill effects, but i feel anything these days have their side effects because of intense reserch. All i can say is that its better to have in a safe quantity and minimise use as much as possible . Cheers Vishwas

Seems i had missed out this reply. Sorry for it, well you're right that we should not consume to much microwave foods. It's better to cook the normal way then entrusted your food to microwave.

Today many people think that it is unhealthy to use the microwave to heat or cook the food. But I don't really care about it. After all, this is not a new product and it has been used for years. Although two of my colleagues steam their box lunch at noon as they claim it will be healthier. But I still use the microwave oven to heat my lunchbox. At least it is very convenient and it seems I am healthier than them

Yeah, I heard about the same thing that it is not good to always eat stuff cooked in a microwave for the sake of a good health. I have never used a microwave because I have not got one yet. My wife used to get one for a couple of days and later she found its poor quality and returned it to the shop. It is said that it has some radioactivity to the body, especially to a pregnant lady.

I have never heard that food cooked by microwave is not good for our healthy, in my place, there are many people using the microwave to cooked food,as it is cheap and convenience than other kitchenware,so that it is more popular among us. especially for people who are less than three person renting house together and only eating supper at home.good luck and have a nice day.
