Does microwaving food in styrofoam impart chemicals into it?

Asked by rojo (24179points) May 6th, 2013

Just wondering after lunch. The styrofoam container got all discolored and torqued out of shape, not melted but close to it. Since it appeared that some of the food cooked into the foam, I wondered if the reverse was true.
So, do you get little carcinogenic chemical particles from the container into the food you then ingest?
