11 months agoThere are medications that measure the active ingredient as a percentage too, like topical creams. I think it’s done to make the relative strength easier to compare when the volume is varied. Labelling a keg of beer or a barrel of wine with the actual volume of alcohol it contains doesn’t make it easy to tell the amount that would be in a single glass.
Yes, microwaves are non-ionizing radiation. I would not suggest sticking your head in your microwave while it’s running though.
