Microwaving your food = Bad?

[PainandGain]

Hi everyone.
I have read in the past that microwaving your food can
cause the protein and other nutrients to break down and become
less bioavailable.
Is there any truth to this?
If I'm in a hurry and would just like to throw some eggs in the microwave
would this diminish it's properties?
Thanks.

I've read many articles against this however.
First off the salmonella thing is not worth it.
And 2, without cooking them, the body only absorbs half the protein or so for some reason or another.

IF you live off microwaved food then yeah I can see that it would do some harm long term. Most of these studies are shit. They probably fed rats off nothing but say microwaved popcorn for 3 months and docoumented that they got cancer and or died.

Eggs are more digestible when cooked. Please read THIS.

I'm no expert but I dont think microwaving breaks down protein...maybe Im wrong but It doesn't make sense to me....

I'm quite interested as well, but I gotta say, food cooked or re heated over a flame is about 1000% tastier lol, I'd like to see if there's any experts who can weigh in on this one..
