(1 ) Microwaved food is believed to contain microwaves. How safe is microwaved food ?

Microwaved food is definitely safe to be consumed, but it is bad to have it often, as it contains high amounts of fat and salt. Microwaves are used to make radio frequency waves that cook the food by making the water in it react so that it gets heated up and cooked easily. In my opinion, I only microwave food when I am in a hurry. It is better to avoid making a habit out of it as it is unhealthy.

2) Reports have linked charred food to cancer. How safe is BBQ food ?

BBQ food is safe to be eaten, but it is unhealthy. After cooking the food, there could be burnt bits that appear on the food. Burnt bits of food are believed to be carcinogenic - which causes our cells to become cancerous. To avoid the chances of getting cancer, we should avoid eating BBQ food at all, or we can cut off any burnt portions just to be safe.
