dangers of heating food in microwave

Recently heard about a study on mice, didn't read it, but was told that continual use of heating food in microwave given to mice, caused either death or damaged organs, as opposed to the mice with stove heating food. Just trying to find out if this is a true study or not.

They can be very hot. Don't put food in metal containers or soft plastics.

There have been studies of heating food in plastics where the plastics are giving off chemicals that can be cancer causing. You should use paper or glass. (not styrofoam, or other plastics)
There is no radiation problem.

Nonsense, heating with micro waves is harmless to the food.

The food may have hot spots but there is no radiation problem.
