I think a few hundred rem gives the food that elusive je ne sais quoi, an effervescent bite with an impertinent aftertaste. But submariners have never allowed to store food in the reactor compartment-- not even coffee-- only an occasional watchstander for limited periods of time.Martha said:I must have missed the memo.
MasterBlaster said:What is left out of the discussion is the level of risk. So I pose some questions for those that don't want to risk a microwave ??
Is eating microwaved food more or less dangerous than taking 3 airplane trips per year ?
Is eating microwaved food more or less dangerous than living in a stone or brick house.

WanderALot said:It's funny you mentioned this because DW has been on an anti-microwave kick lately. She quoted some studies that talk about how microwaving food changes the chemistry of the food and also increases cholesterol. All of the websites seem to quote the same things!
DW uses the oven to reheat leftovers now. :
TromboneAl said:I propose we do a safety test of microwave ovens. We'll install them in, say 150 million homes and let people use them for about 30 years and see if there are any health effects.
