Neil deGrasse Tyson: Are Microwaves safe? 

swear to god, just microwaved a bowl of leftover lasagna and then looked up if microwaves were safe and found this video. 1st video i clicked lol

If they say it's ok that means it's bad.

If this guy says microwaves are benign, avoid them at all costs.

The establishments favorite scientist

I dont believe cell phones are entirely safe

It’s so refreshing to listen to an intelligent and educated person. Thank you Mr. Tyson for teaching us NOT to be scared of things we don’t completely understand

It's true. If you microwave ice, it won't melt (unless it's got moisture/water on it). Proper frozen ice allows microwaves to pass through. That's how they can see the land beneath glaciers in Greenland

I can feel something is not natural with microwaved food. I'll not eat that

Microwaves are unsafe . Don't use them.

It's probably healthier not to eat microwave food from the processed food aspect, fine for reheating leftovers but if you are just buying cheap processed crap wrapped in plastic for the microwave it probably isn't healthy long term.

my mom never used a microwave until i showed her this video. my man tyson saved my life.

In the end Neil goes, "Wh-What ? - You didn't - Joe! Hahaha, that was hilarious. 🤣

Neil always sounds like he’s giving a class. Love him.

I remember back In the 80s,we were told microwaves killed nutrients in the food.

"microwave ovens arent his field of expertise" jeez louise, people.. get off facebook and read a book

Oh my gosh thank you

You can warm plates in a microwave

"JOE!!!" 🤣

I haven't owned a microwave oven in about 20 years. It may be true that they are safe, but I just don't like the way food tastes after being in one. Also, one time our kettle was broken and we tried making tea with water heated in the microwave - it made the tea taste really strange. I don't know if this is a health issue or just a taste issue, but I just like the taste better of food and beverages made the old-fashioned way.
