A somewhat more urgent (though a bit specialized) caution is to avoid
drinking tea with lemon or other acidic (especially hot) drinks from
Styrofoam cups.  Because of the high surface area of the foam beads,
quite a noticeable amount of styrene ends up in your tummy, which
isn't where it was meant to be.
