Yes... microwave ovens.
Here's a few articles: https://www.naturalnews.com/055071_microwave_radition_EMF_Russia.html https://www.health-science.com/microwave-hazards/ https://worldtruth.tv/russia-bans-the-use-of-microwave-ovens/
If you are concerned the warnings about microwave oven technology may have something to it, rest assured: Snopes.com has an article (https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/did-the-soviet-union-ban-microwaves-due-to-health-concerns/) debunking any deleterious health effects associated with these nifty devices.
Snopes is such a credible source of information. Now I can go back to sticking my head in the sand, assured neither chemtrails nor PIzzagate are real and that microwaved popcorn are super healthy. Thanks, Snopes!
[puns aside, this seems like a subject worth investigating further.]

Ten Reasons not to Use Your Microwave Oven
Based on Swiss, Russian and German clinical studies
- Continually eating food processed from a microwave oven causes long term, permanent, brain damage by “shorting out” electrical impulses in the brain [de-polarizing or de-magnetizing the brain tissue]
- The human body cannot metabolize [break down] the unknown by-products created in micro-waved food
- Male and female hormone production is shut down and/or altered by continually eating micro-waved foods
- The effects of micro-waved food by-products are residual [long term, permanent] within the human body
- Minerals, vitamins, and nutrients of all micro-waved food is reduced or altered so that the human body gets little or no benefit, or the human body absorbs altered compounds that cannot be broken down
- The minerals in vegetables are altered into cancerous free radicals when cooked in a microwave oven
- Micro-waved foods cause stomach and intestinal cancerous growths [tumors]. This has been a primary contributor to the rapidly increased rate of colon cancer in the United States
- The prolonged eating of micro-waved foods causes cancerous cells to increase in human blood
- Continual ingestion of micro-waved food causes immune system deficiencies through lymph gland and blood serum alterations
- Eating micro-waved food causes loss of memory, concentration, emotional instability, and a decrease of intelligence
The question, then, is if this information is credible. It does appear more than a little strange, however, that Russia would choose to BAN such a useful device if no harm is caused by it.Radiation, as defined by physics terminology, is "the electromagnetic waves emitted by the atoms and molecules of a radioactive substance as a result of nuclear decay." Radiation causes ionization, which is what occurs when a neutral atom gains or loses electrons. In simpler terms, a microwave oven decays and changes the molecular structure of the food by the process of radiation. Had the manufacturers accurately called them "radiation ovens", it's doubtful they would have ever sold one, but that's exactly what a microwave oven is.
We've all been told that microwaving food is not the same as irradiating it (radiation "treatment"). The two processes are supposed to use completely different waves of energy and at different intensities. No FDA or officially released government studies have proven current microwaving usage to be harmful, but we all know that the validity of studies can be - and are sometimes deliberately - limiting. Many of these studies are later proven to be inaccurate. As consumers, we're supposed to have a certain degree of common sense to use in judgment.
