The results indicated that microwave heating caused the highest release of microplastics and nanoplastics into food compared to other usage scenarios, such as refrigeration or room-temperature storage.
Why on earth didn’t they compare a different heating scenario? What kind of science is that? The take is not “microwave is bad”, it’s actually “Some plastics are bad, and worse when heated”.
