According to him, the principle of operation of microwaves is that they produce high-frequency electromagnetic waves that cause water and fat molecules to vibrate. During this process, energy is released, which turns into heat and allows you to heat food.

“From this, there were claims that the microwave oven provokes the formation of radicals that damage the body’s cells, destroying vitamins and minerals,” Kucherov said in an interview with NEWS.ru, adding that the radiation from the device is not strong enough to bother people, but rather to damage the human cellular structure.

The engineer also admitted that during heat treatment, food loses nutrients. However, Kucherov noticed that other similar effects also lead to the same effect. The expert called the information that microwaves cause cancer a myth.
