[QUOTE="Juno80, post: 1044318, member: 252848"] Nothing wrong with "nuked" food. The microwave basically excites the molecules in your food which produces heat, and it's the same thing that happens to that food when you cook it in a pan or pot or whatever, just the heat is created directly IN the food instead of transferred TO the food. Probably the worst explanation on the planet, but the point is basically there's no difference in the nutrient value of what you've cooked one way vs the other. Cooking on it's own however will change the nutrient value of certain foods, and it's a good idea not to over-cook fruit or veggies especially. The real danger from microwave food is from cooking in plastic or synthetic materials which may leech chemicals into your food when heated. As long as you're cooking in ceramic or glass or other non-chemical/oil byproducts you will be fine. [/QUOTE]
