My friend said it was cancerous. Is it?

I don't know, but it's cool to watch a styro cup dissolve into nothing if you set it in some acetone.

I eat off of Styrofoam plates in the microwave... I'm still alive.

iirc, it'll release toxic chemicals

When I was younger, we'd dissolve styrofoam in gasoline. Made a nice gooey paste that would burn for a long time.

Contrary to popular belief, some Styrofoam and other polystyrene containers can safely be used in the microwave. Just follow the same rule you follow for other plastic containers: Check the label.
