    You know. You’ll never grow if you don’t make an effort to make sure you’re right. Might as well say, “I’ll never change my mind no matter what.”

    I’ve done my own research way back. And everyone is entitled to there own opinions. The gooberment and big pharma work hand and hand. They have hacked legitimate researches that was point on about anything that had to the holistic way of health(the truth). So now when you go and do research, you won’t find the truth, it’s lies. Why you ask, cause our population is grown to much and they either want to to be sick to make big pharma richer, or die to reduce the population. But again.... do you think your gonna find that on the internet, of course not.
    And another thing, I’m just a dumb owner operator that’s been doing my thing for 40 years plus, I’m not to savvy on clicking and reposting links on here. So to answer your comment, I can’t back nothing up. I remembered when YOU joined here and would come up with some stupid post. But whatever, carry on driver.... today’s society don’t care about natural health, home remedies and so on. I think you would prefer to read @x1Heavy truck stop countertop stories. Another reason I don’t hang out on this forum as much. Btw, thanks for reviving a 4 year old thread. More power to ya.

    Oh, c’mon man. Don’t give me that.

    Care to point them out? Even if you could point one out, I’m almost certain it’s no where as asinine as your initial comment in this thread. People would take you more seriously if you actually started referencing at least some sources. Oh, I remember. Nobody can be trusted. Nobody, which leave us nowhere, and somehow you want us to believe you and without even one source? You’re killing me, man. :rolleyes:

    I’m not gonna do an @x1Heavy and go rambling on. You already called me out. I already told you I have nothing to back it up, and if I did, someone would call me out on that as well. I’m not wasting my time. I know what I know. There has been others threads on this same thing. Go dig it up.

    Interesting debate on the long term health aspects on microwave ovens. Here is my (TOTALLY) uneducated take on it. Common sense should tell you all the data is not in on the long term usage of RF as it relates to living in the 21st century. I wonder how many people give thought to all the RF passing through their bodies each and every day? Cell phone towers are everywhere. You can't walk into most any Federal building these days without passing through a "metal detector". Is RF safe when it comes to heating foods? I honestly don't know, and further, I have a natural distrust of "studies". Unfortunately, I doubt these answers will be known for decades.

    I guess the only way to avoid these dangers is to wear lead-lined clothing and tin foil hats and live a life more as they did in the 19th century. Sorry, that's not my style.

    The microwave oven was first demonstrated in 1947.
    That have been around for some time.

    Yes very true. The magnetron tech predates this by close to 10 years. It was not really until the late 60s very early 70s that Microwave ovens begin to appear on the store shelves. My opinion (based on nothing) is they are safe. I am much more concerned about (other) forms of RF exposure.

    My primary problem with Microwave Ovens is there are some limitations on how well they "cook". Honestly, I use mine mostly to heat things precooked.

    The name Radarange was a combination of a few things. The first microwave systems developed were actually for use as an aircraft radar system. It didn’t work very well. Microwave is to small for that use, return signal dissipates to fast.
