I don't think there's enough evidence to say that microwave ovens cause cancer. They've been around, what, 40 years or more?

overall, yes ... but how often are you using your microwave while standing in very close proximity to it? Do you do this for hours a day every day? If so, yes, you may be concerned ... you should be more concerned about skin cancer ... wear sunscrenn (at least SPF 15) EVERYDAY!!! ... UV rays get you even on overcast days ... EVERYDAY!!!
