"Debunking the Microwave Myth: New Research Reveals the Surprising Truth About Nutrient Loss For years, microwave cooking has been villainized as a nutrient-destroying menace, but a new study is challenging this conventional wisdom. According to researchers, the real culprits behind nutrient loss are not the microwaves themselves, but rather the high heat, excessive water, and prolonged cooking times often associated with this cooking method.
