Human: Is it true that microwaves can cause cancer due to radiation or is this a myth?

Assistant: No, this is not true.  Microwaves are electromagnetic waves that are part of the light spectrum.  You can see a microwave oven in your kitchen right now.  Its use for cooking or re-heating food is based on a process of molecular agitation, which is very different from radiation.  Microwaves can’t penetrate into human bodies in any quantity sufficient to cause disease.
