i-is it bad?

>>16413977
Dunno , i just have a natural aversion to it

>>16414003
completely understandable 2bh

>>16413977
it releases estrogen, I'm not even joking

https://time.com/3742871/bpa-free-health/

even liberal sources are concerned about it, like ragusea so it's not some /pol/ thing like soy and phytoestrogens

>>16414026
appreciated anon

>>16414026
what would be a good alternative though? Covering the dishes with something inside the microwave comes in handy 2bh.

>>16414033
Glass

>>16414033
glass

people go cheap and get plastic storage, companies switch to plastic bottles rather than use glass, glass is nonreactive

based anons, thanks

I have some ikea glass "tupperwares", I guess thats healthier then.

>>16414130
lmfao, absolutely mental

>>16414012
better than having all that estrogen in the plastic where i might end up eating it, I reckon.

i mean i'm sure there's some fast food that has testosterone in it anyway to offset the estpertbn

>NOOOOOOOOO NOT THE ESTROGENS!
The fuck doesn't have estrogen in it now?

>>16413977
bro please tell me you haven't actually been doing that... the damage is irreversible

when i was in japan they boiled instant meals in pots of water

micro-wave radiation works by irradiating water molecules, polymers dont contain water

as long as the plastic youre using is proofed to a certain temperature-range (up to around 220F) then it won't leech microplastics or release harmful compounds into your food. not all plastics are equal, though, and its important to read the label if youre not 100% sure. all Tupperware products & saran-wrap is microwave safe

>>16415655
they still do actually, just less

please say sike...

uma delicia

smoke cigs and eat raw onion to balance out the estrogen

>>16413977
Depends on the plastic. Some plastic is made to be microwave safe but a lot isn't. If it isn't safe, the plastic will warp and you will know you fucked up.

I had to microwave a bunch of things one by one, 30 seconds each time, and my plates and bowls got so hot I figured I'd try using kitchen paper instead. Needless to say I no longer have a microwave or a girlfriend.

what you actually fell for that marketing bullshit? holy shit...

Good I'm a fag

Microwave radiation, also known as micro-waves (lol?) are a on the short end of the spectrum but definitely not ionizing radiation. It work by vibrating the water molecules and fats, creating friction to a molecular level. All that friction ultimately is converted to heat energy.

I think about this shit every fucking day bros

>when they tell you to stop microwaving plastic
Fixed OP

Speaking of shit you should never put in microwaves, why can't you put metal in there? I know it catches fire or something but I've never understood how it works

>>16414026
So, can a woman like, heat plastic with their food on an microwave and then grow huge boobas?

>>16419493
Metal aren't inherently bad for the magnetron itself in normal conditions, but it's a important fire hazard. Microwave ovens assume that you're microwaving "absorbant" food, food that contains water will absorb those microwaves and convert that friction in to heat. Now, metals aren't absorbant but the opposite, they'll reflect the microwaves sending it bouncing all over the oven. One result of this is often sparkling and plasma which are pretty dangerous. But also since the dish is reflecting most of the energy away from the food, the components have to work longer and harder to heat it causing premature wear to the magnetron shortening its life span. That last one of course is only if you do this often.

>>16414026
So your saying I can turn my family into girls by cooking there food in plastic?

>>16418236
the water's unironically turnin the fuckin frogs gay

>>16419543
Nah, she'd make test to offset the excess estrogen. Either that or I'm retarded. Also I think that sort of hormone problem can cause cancer

>>16418236
Plastic and processed food is cancer, jeez

>>16421106
Yeah bro and chemicals.

He was with his original post.
The fact that he has links ready proves he's just a schizo retard.

I eat like two of these every week.

Not my problem.

soy and phytoestrogens is a /pol/ thing now? Last I looked there were scientific articles arguiing it was healthy and unhealthy. Problem is the research bias coming from sponsorships from large corporate soybean farms.

>>16422507
Asians incels get butthurt about the soy, which is funny because real asians don't even eat that much unfermented soy. Our problem is food corporations dump soy shit into everything as cheap filler and the taxpayers subsidize it because our country is wrecked.

>>16414026
fake and gay
https://youtu.be/TtLMjXgYBLg

>>16422507
There hasn't been a single study proving soy any negative effects on the human body. Phytoestrogens don't have any feminizing effect basically do nothing to people. The soy shit started on bodybuilding forums and eventually got picked up by poltards and alex jones. Its all bunk. People have been eating soy for thousands of years, if it caused problems we'd know by now.

>>16422507
it's true but people don't like to hear it because it undermines the push for plant based diets (which you should also ignore)

>>16421222
>BBQ'd rice
That is a grill, and you grill or cook out on a grill. You do not barbecue on a grill.

>>16414039

Grilling is barbecuing.

What about microwaving Nissin cup noodles? I would have these like 2 meals a day and would always microwave them.

>There hasn't been a single study proving soy any negative effects on the human body.
Wrong, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18650557/
>tl;dr is there's some evidence that it functions like estrogen in humans, but it's not conclusive.
Is this stuff hard evidence? Not really.
Do I want to risk my health when there's other alternatives? Fuck no.

Most of the studies on soy and phytoestrogens is on menopausal women, because studies require funding, and solving a health problem will make people buy more shit.

This is a case study on a guy who had very high estrogenic hormones until he stopped drinking 3 quarts of soy milk daily.
