No: Microwave foods are safe, no risk of cancer there. There are no proven prevention foods(like Chocolates etc) other than possibly Fruits and vegetables. Exercise and keeping your weight normal have the best chance to help you to lower the risk of developing Cancer. Also avoid smoking and drinking alcohol.
