As people's living standards continue to improve, microwave ovens have entered more and more households, bringing great convenience to people's fast-paced lives.
Although microwave ovens are convenient, few people are aware of their potential hazards. As early as 1961, American scientist Gordon discovered that the microwaves from microwave ovens cause the accumulation of acetylcholine (a neurotransmitter) along nerve fibers in the human body. Even extremely weak microwave emissions can lead to various illnesses. This discovery was later confirmed by researchers from the Curie Foundation in France, specifically by Dardalon.
The electromagnetic leakage from microwave ovens (which is minimal due to safety measures) can cause burns that never heal. Microwave ovens can disrupt the magnetic field structure within a radius of 3 to 5 meters. Near a microwave oven, the magnetic field generated by the oscillation of human cells can be disturbed. According to experiments conducted by American researchers, prolonged exposure to microwave ovens can slow down the heart rate. After a day's work, one may experience body aches, disrupted sleep, and changes in memory.
Additionally, the damage microwave ovens inflict on food is quite alarming. Food that has been "cooked" or simply reheated or thawed in a microwave oven loses all active vitamins, leaving only some calories to "fill the stomach." Therefore, people should not use microwave ovens frequently just for convenience. Moreover, those who use microwave ovens should consume more vitamin-rich foods (such as raw vegetables and whole grains) to maintain the energy required by the body.
