Just Don't Wrap It In Foil

You want an alarmist headline, you got it: "Is it safe to microwave food?" Turns out the answer is largely yes, it's safe, though some plastics are probably unwise choices for holding the food in there if they're not designed to resist higher temperatures. And as for the food itself, a study claiming microwaving eliminates the good stuff in broccoli was countered by other studies showing that as long as you don't put too much water in the bowl, microwaving actually INCREASES the level of good stuff. And radiation is not an issue at all. So read past the headline and calm down. (BBC)
