Chemistry graded assignment(REG 20)

1 ) Microwaved food is believed to contain microwaves. How safe is microwaved food ?
It is not very safe as they discovered that eating microwaved food, over time, causes significant changes in blood chemistry, a decrease in hemoglobin and cholesterol values, in the HDL (good cholesterol) versus LDL (bad cholesterol) ratio and in white blood cells, weakening the immune system, and an increase in leukocyte levels, which tends to indicate poisoning and cell damage.


(2) Reports have linked charred food to cancer. How safe is BBQ food ?
Benz pyrenes are carcinogenic particles found in charred foods. Based on studies with laboratory rats, scientists found that ingesting large amounts of benz pyrenes may cause cancer.
