Answer 1

Microwaving Styrofoam is very dangerous and has been known to cause cancer, but until it's fully proven, anyone can legally manufacture and sell it in the United States. Anytime you bring home take out food in a Styrofoam container, place the food onto a ceramic plate before heating it up. Same thing goes for plastic containers, especially for infants. Just use glass or ceramic dishes to heat up food in the microwave.

Styrofoam is also very very very dangerous for the ozone layer and the planet.

It's like Teflon. In Canada, it is illegal to manufacture or sell Teflon products because it has been known to cause cancer, however in the United States, because it hasn't been fully proven, they will continue to make money off of it and not ban it. That's our government for ya!

Answer 2

no I dont think so

Answer 3

absolutely 100% not true.  otherwise it would have a surgeon general's warning on it, just like a pack of ciggies. Now, I don't recommend them as a steady diet, but aside from the fat and sodium, they're a reasonable snack.

Answer 4

A lot of things supposedly give you cancer now.  Just do what you like and enjoy life.  Its too short as it is to be so worried about such things.  Keep yourself healthy, have fun, and live.

Answer 5

I would not eat anything that has MSG, the Chinese MSG is made from chemicals and is definitely not good for you. The ramen noodles that you are referring to has a lot of salt and there raises your blood pressure.

If you are adventurous then goto an Indian grocery store and get the Nestle Maggi noodles, they are like the ramen noodles much better quality, no MSG but are a bit spicy. Goodluck.

Answer 6

No!

If people know that a certain product can give you cancer, they would definitly stop making it let alone selling it!

They wouldnt allow people to eat it all if they know it can give you cancer!

Hope that helped!

Answer 7

no they can't give you cancer. even if they had MSG or whatever then you have to eat probably like 100 of them per day for the chance of cancer to even exist. they are just extremely high in sodium. most are over 1000 mg per serving.

Answer 8

I love cup o noodles! I hope it doesn't have cancer.

Answer 9

cup of noodles contains MSG(look on the ingredients label) which is said to cause cancer.  The amount your eating though should be fine.. as long as you don't eat it every day.

check out the wikipedia site i listed.

There are a bunch of additives like MSG in our foods that we shouldn't be eating.. We just need to read the labels and be aware of what and how much we are consuming.

Answer 13
