Microwaves are known to zap many things but they had to figure out if they zap nutrients. Researchers in China, studied the role of various cooking methods, including steam and microwaving, and examined the nutrients after cooking. They found that some nutrients are leached out but not as much as steaming. There have been other links to them losing protein and iron, but in no way “destroying” the bonds of those nutrients. In other words, you lose anything while cooking, but not enough to make it nutrition-less.<\/p>\n
