microwave?

akyyyy · Apr 21, 2004

heard that using the microwave kills almost all the nutrients in foods, is this true?

It probably could get rid of some of them, I dont know about all of them.

I saw that on the news recently as well.. something like up to 80% of the nutrients lost..

I steam instead.

Considering what most people eat, especially what they put in the microwave, nutrient loss is the least of their worries.

You mean to tell me that those microwave pizzas and burritos are not healthy?
