Are there any sideeffects of using induction cookers?
Induction cooking units work by generating a field of electromagnetic energy. Concerns have been expressed from time to time about whether such fields–from induction cookers, microwave ovens, cell phones, or any of a variety of other sources–might be some sort of health hazard to humans. These risks–if they arise–would be from the interaction of the radiation with the human body. A major report from a science body of the European Union, which we will cite in detail later, lists as issues they were charged with investigating some ten possible matters: immune-system effects; cardiac effects; nervous-system effects; neurobehavioral effects (this arises only with respect to cell-phone use while driving); ocular effects; miscellaneous other than cancer; genotoxicity; experimental carcinogenesis (meaning effects noted in laboratory studies); melatonin production; and epidemiological carcinogenesis (meaning statistical suggestions of a carcinogenic effect).
