Plastics
Many plastics are marked as Microwave safe. This is not necessarily the case. This term is not regulated by the government and can lead people to believe that it is safe to use plastics in the microwave. This may not be so. It turns out that most plastics release Bisphenol A which can cause development problems in children. To be on the safe side, scientists recommend that people use glass or ceramics to heat their food on.
