Man-made devices that emit the microwave RF energies are *not* part of  
nature.   ;)

The microwave oven was produced as a result of an unexpected fluke:

"In 1945 Percy Spencer, an engineer working on radar at Raytheon, noticed  
that microwave radiation from a magnetron oscillator melted a candy bar in  
his pocket. He investigated cooking with microwaves and invented the  
microwave oven"  (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave)

So, little was known about the affects of mwaves on our bodies then.  Much  
less is known about the long-term effects.

Microwaves can cause damage:

"When injury from exposure to microwaves occurs, it usually results from  
dielectric heating induced in the body. Exposure to microwave radiation  
can produce cataracts by this mechanism,[25] because the microwave heating  
denatures proteins in the crystalline lens of the eye (in the same way  
that heat turns egg whites white and opaque). The lens and cornea of the  
eye are especially vulnerable because they contain no blood vessels that  
can carry away heat. Exposure to heavy doses of microwave radiation (as  
from an oven that has been tampered with to allow operation even with the  
door open) can produce heat damage in other tissues as well, up to and  
including serious burns that may not be immediately evident because of the  
tendency for microwaves to heat deeper tissues with higher moisture  
content."  (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave)

Cellphone to the head.. risk of promoting cataracts.. no thanks.

I wouldn't purposefully sit right next to an operating microwave oven  
every day for every meal, either.

Sure, all these waves are around us, but the key is never be too close to  
the source emmitter.

I remember reading about wi-fi being pulled out of schools in certain  
European countries because there was a direct correlation to health.  I  
don't have the specific info anymore but you can find a lot written about  
it from reputable sources.

My Blackberry has a handy removeable battery.  One battery is always in an  
external charger ready for use when the one in the actual phone drains  
out.   I note that many newer phones don't have removeable batteries for  
the sake of slimmer design.
