They do and they're horribly incorrect.
Microwaving your water is just wrong, partly because a kettle is more efficient and doesn't make the water go all foamy and weird, but mainly because it's WRONG!
Your microwave makes water foamy?
I think you have a problem with your water, not the microwave.
Possibly, but I've only ever tried it once so it's not a very scientific study
