  13. Recently the German NewAge journal raum&zeit (space&time) carried a
  14. long 'scientific' study that supposedly proved that microwave-cooked
  15. food will unconditionally lead to cancer in anyone eating it. The proof: 
  16. luminescent bacteria swimming in milk from a microwave oven 'shine'
  17. longer, and other arguments of that level. But still, this paper has
  18. been taken serious even by usually skeptical people, because at first
  19. glance it looks sound. Anyway, could someone lead us to serious reviews
  20. of the health risks (or even benefits) inherent in microwaved food?
  21. Since the technology has been on the market for a while and extremely
  22. widespread these days, studies should abound. Thanks!
