well, that's the point of the discussion because there is not consensus that is true:
"When theory and observation collide: Can non-ionizing radiation cause cancer?"

I guess there would be concern that they could if they leaked (microwave harm reduction as a related topic)
I think it's accepted that it does, along with cooking, but this was thought to be a trade off for killing possible diseases.
That would be true all else equal, but it's argued microwaves possibly create unique damage
Raw food advocates would argue against microwaves and other non-microwave cooking methods though
it's possible they could be correct but also possible this is a fallacy of appealing to authority
That paper is written by none other than Magda Havas, the person whom your article in question cited and is criticized for pseudo-science. Try linking to another more credible one next time.
fair, how about this one?

I won't comment too much on this since it's straying further and further away from the original topic, which is microwaving food, not microwaving yourself. I'm also not familiar enough with biology and electromagnetism to give a conclusive argument to the paper. HOWEVER. Just a quick question to you, did you actually read through the paper and its citations, thought through its testing methodologies, and came to your own conclusion, or did you just search for "WiFi bad" and reply with any article or "scientific research" that pops up? Cause there is definitely no shortage of bullshit articles and even scientific studies online, as Abraham Lincoln once famously said:
If you're just going to post whatever pops up in the search engine without thinking through first, I doubt the discussion is going to be any more constructive and would be wasting everyone's time.
