The only thing I microwave is water, in a ceramic mug, for my tea. She's convinced that the microwave "changes the molecular structure" of the water and renders it unsafe.
She sent me this hilarious link:

Some pretty solid logic there in the first few paragraphs. Someone microwaved blood in a hospital and it killed the transfusion patient. Therefore, microwave = bad.

How many really old people use microwaves? Very few. They know that they are dangerous - that's partly why they've lived to such an old age.
It sounds as though you are mocking her. But it seems as though the joke is on you my close minded little friend. Let us look at history. In colonial times NOBODY, I repeat NOBODY, died of testicular cancer whereas today they do. What is the one difference between the colonial time period and today? That's right, the presence of the microwave.

I posit this observation has more to do with icy hot than microwaves.

You're right. The ONE difference between colonial times and today is the microwave. That's it! Nothing else is different!

Slow on the sarcasm uptake. Yes. I totally missed that. I'm in assume-everyone-is-a-moron mode.

Baseball causes testicular cancer.

Microwaves are long wavelength and low frequency... they are less harmful than visible light....if they are harmful then radio waves are even more harmful (longer WL)
