Just how does RF heat tissue? By the Rf oscillating the soft tissue. Thus causing the tissue or matter to heat up. Not by radiant heat but a mechanical vibration of the tissue IIRC.

Nuclear radiation pokes holes in tissue and causes mutations at the cell level also IIRC. Different yes!

I stand corrected re ionizing/non-ionizing.
The debate, or some would say conspiracy theory, is that RF (non-ionizing), may have effects beyond just heating, which cause health problems.
There are also the theories we've all heard that bee populations are effected by RF in the environment. Also far from proven.

Water and water based compounds tend to be most affected followed by drier substances.

That depends on whose brains we are talking about here.

I'm waiting for the second hand radiation lawsuits.
