Is it true that microwaving food damages the nutrients in the food?

Posted by: BUSTINOUT

I sure hope not. Otherwise I've damaged all the nutrients in my coffee every day.

Seriously though, if you are talking about for reheating purposes, I doubt it.

Let's put it this way, After I read Mercola's article on the subject and showed it to the wife, we tossed ours. Microwave free for over a year.

We had this on MM about a year ago...I beieve the thread was finally deleted cuz from memory it got heated.

I`ve heard a lot against it, though dudes like LAM make good arguments for it.

I actually teach the designer at a leading maker of them in Japan...he said he wont come out and say they will damage the food, but there is a high chance.

The Hidden Hazards Of Microwave Cooking

....haven't read it yet...

That's too long for you to read.....

Short Version: Microwaves are Baaaad!

There is another article/link at the bottom....

I could read it

Could yes......but will you?

Here's an excerpt from it:

DECREASE IN FOOD VALUE

Microwave exposure caused significant decreases in the nutritive value of all foods researched. The following are the most important findings:

1. A decrease in the bioavailability [capability of the body to utilize the nutriment] of B-complex vitamins, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, essential minerals and lipotropics in all foods;

2. A loss of 60-90% of the vital energy field content of all tested foods;

3. A reduction in the metabolic behavior and integration process capability of alkaloids [organic nitrogen based elements], glucosides and galactosides, and nitrilosides;

4. A destruction of the nutritive value of nucleoproteins in meats;

5. A marked acceleration of structural disintegration in all foods.

If that's not enough, read the complete article. It was enough for me and the wife. I thought it was interesting to see that Russia banned them in 1976.

Alot of bbers I know use microwaves at work cus the cookers are out of bounds and rice takes like $hit if it isn't warm.
I use one all the time to look my meals.

Compared to what? Raw food or conventionally cooked food? What's vital energy field? I would think that cooking things pretty well kills them however it's done.
