Do you think the makers of microwave will tell you that their product could harm you, (not good for business) i think not

Lastly ever wondered what people used in your America to heat food up, before microwave? undecided

NB i do not use microwave, you are wellcomed to use all the microwave in America. I dont give two shi'ts tongue

Bro I believe in Nigeria but I feel his is trying to tell present facts for you...
The America he used as example have far life expectancy rate and low death rate far better than Nigeria...
And like more than 2centuries they have being using microwave and they are living even more healthy than us...

We should borrow what's good in them and leave the ones that bad...
Before those in charge of safety approves microwave, research have being carried out, and it is being improved on daily so it's choice to use and not to use...

Do you know we are more endangered here in Nigeria because a microwave/refrigerator mechanic without standard tools and no safety idea is the one repairing/remodelling our it and bypass some functions just to make it work

I didn't read past the first page of the comments but I'm quite disappointed at the share ignorance of those thanking the author. This is complete BS! shows the lack of critical thinking or basic understanding of how things work. If you did the experiment and your phone rang, please, don't throw your microwave away!

Anything to counter his point? Any credible source?

Here's the issue with his point - you can't test radio frequency and electromagnetic leakage using different frequencies. You'll have to test them on the same frequency.

GSM and CDMA are in the range of 450 to 1,900 MHz. Your microwave works on a frequency of 2,450 MHz which is far closer to the frequency your wifi operates at ( that's why your router manufacturer advice you to keep it as far away as you can from microwave interference).

the difference between those two frequencies (the one that the microwave and your GSM/CDMA uses) is a lot!

A better way to test leakage would be to:

1) remove your sim card (from your phone or tablet)
2) connect to your wifi router on your phone (or tablet)
3) open a terminal emulator on your phone/tablet and ping bbc.com (like this: ping -c 100 bbc.com) the minus -c 100 means it would ping bbc 100 times before stopping and showing you the result.
4) hold the device a few seconds while it is pinging bbc just to make sure all is fine with your wifi connection (I'll say around 10-20 pings). then, put the device inside your microwave oven(while it is still pinging bbc.com).
5) close the door tightly and wait for about 2-3 minutes.

A good result is that which shows bbc unreachable while the device was inside your microwave oven. Which means electromagnetic frequency was unable to get out while the device was in the oven.

if it gets out intermittently you may only need to get someone to change the Faraday shield (the black stuff on the door). Those cost a few $ to change.

which of what I said was difficult to follow? I'll be glad to explain. Just go over the info once again.

is the issue #3 (terminal emulator)? if you're on android, get this one from play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=en

for iOS, just search for "terminal emulator" on itunes.
