Microwaves, Animal Flesh, and Styrofoam: Dangers
Underreported dangers of styrene and animal flesh in combination with heat
[b]Dangers of Microwave with Animal Flesh, Styrofoam etc.[/b]
We know that animal flesh when heated to over 300 degrees creates carcinogens such as
methylcholanthrene and malonaldehyde. Yet when animal flesh is not heated sufficiently, colon bacteria (ecoli), trichinosis worms etc are present.
Imagine the dangerous compounds created when the microwave puts 800 degrees through
flesh.
In addition to carcinogenic compounds in the food, many microwaves leak and can cook
to some extent those standing near them.

The styrene in styrofoam cups in combination with hot drinks such as coffee, tea, cocoa or soup causes dangerous
plastic compounds. An even more dangerous combination is a styrofoam cup, a hot drink, and the microwave. It's best to have a ceramic cup at your workplace, backpack or briefcase.
