Micro wave works on principle of heating water molecule inside the food. There are no side effects of eating such food. Only if you are heating and re-heating food again and again. Only if there is too much of dryness in food. And only if you are using plastic utensils for long time, then yes, food can be contaminated by plastic molecules, which is not just harmful but also carcinogenic.
