Is it true...
    #5356803 - 03/02/06 09:29 AM (17 years, 10 months ago)

that microwaving food for longer than 5 minutes just destroys all nutritional content?

A microwave essentially causes dipole molecules (a positive and negative charge at opposite ends) to oscillate as they continuously realign themselves with the alternating electric field created by the microwave, generating heat through friction I suppose you could say.  It seems to me, that though there are plenty of psycho paranoid people in the world, the claims that a microwave will degrade the nutrient content of food seem totally bogus to me.  [Here's one of these paranoid psychos' webpages]

For that matter, I don't currently own a microwave - so I suppose I'm safe either way :tongue:

preparing foods in different manners can alter its nutritional content, like with certain foliage, it's better to eat raw than to cook, or microwave.

it is possible to have various nutrients denature because of microwaves too.

I was taking a food and nutrition class a few semesters ago, and that is what the professor said. She was a bit on the psycho side though.

Thiamin AND Folate (B vitamins) are both destroyed from heating/cooking/microwaving.
