Does microwaving your food affect its nutritional value?
According to Dr. Anthony L. Komaroff, editor-in-chief of Harvard University's medical journal, microwaving does indeed impact nutritional values, but this is not unique when compared to other cooking methods.
In fact, he argues that microwaving can preserve certain nutrients in food.
This suggests that microwaving impacts nutritional values minimally compared to other methods that require longer cooking times, which increase the likelihood of nutrient breakdown, while microwaving is quicker and results in less nutrient loss.
