Why does Brain Octane melt styrofoam?

QUESTION

Why does Brain Octane melt styrofoam? If it melts styrofoam, does that mean it’s also bad for my body?

ANSWER

The isolated forms of many fatty acids can cause this reaction. The exact mechanisms are not fully understood, but the reaction only happens with polystyrene, a chemical component of styrofoam. This reaction does not happen in the body, and is not a concern. It can also happen with specific forms of fish oil. You can read more here.
