In this video, we’re going to talk about microwaves and radiation. Will using your microwave give you radiation?

Radiating means to travel outward in all directions from a source.

Radiation is the transmission of energy in the form of particles or waves through space or a medium.

There are two types of radiation: ionizing radiation and non-ionizing radiation.

Ionizing radiation breaks more or one electron from an atom. This kind of radiation has the potential to cause DNA damage. Examples of ionizing radiation include gamma rays, X-rays, and even UV radiation.

Non-ionizing radiation disrupts the bonds of molecules, but not necessarily the atoms. Microwaves use this form of radiation. They disrupt the molecules in your food, causing heat.

Microwaving your food will lower the nutritional value of your food. This also goes for overheating your food by other methods.

The real harm caused by microwaves has to do with cooking your food in plastic. Microwaves break down the plastic in plastic containers or plates and allow it to leach into your food. This can contribute to the accumulation of microplastics in your body.

Always use glass or ceramics when warming or cooking food in the microwave.

Avoid being close to your microwave while it’s in use—keep 15-20 feet of distance. Being too close to the microwave while it’s in use can affect the cornea in your eye. It can begin to cook the sensitive cornea.
