Microwave ovens provide an easy way to quickly heat food when hunger strikes. But does the convenience of microwave cooking come at a cost by zapping nutrients out of foods ?
What do you think?
Use of microwave oven at optimal level don’t spoil nutrients..
Microwave ovens are banned in Russia after 1970 after it has come to know that microwaves converted the food into such particles that mixed and circulated with blood through veins and caused CANCER.
Sorry for the reference I dont have at the moment.
It can affect the vitamins and nutrients in our food as a result of the heating.
Use of microwave cooking at certain level is ok , but some micro nutrient may be loss heat liable nutrients.
I am not sure of this but now I will ALWAYS doubt my microwave's ability to make my life "easy going" and that will be a big change for me at least.
YES I believe cooking food in anyway reduces the content of micro nutrients whether it be the traditional style cooking or putting something in microwave or oven or anything.
Though not an expert on that but still i had not heard of most WILD ANIMALS suffering from metabolic diseases like diabetes, cancer and so many while heard from a friend that her cat is OBESE and remains sick sometime.

So yes you may correct and some researcher can review pubmed to augment or refute the possibility.

The microwaving food is good for fast heating foods (1-2 ) minutes without any side effect while more than this time causes nutrients loss.
Microwave ovens are useful in today’s hectic life in terms of saving of time for heating and cooking of food.
One has to be suspicious of modern inventions. When it comes to our food (only source of nutrition for our bodies), it is not worth the unknown risks involved. How to select the time to heat? How do you know it is the appropriate time for the food you are cooking or warming? Since one does NOT know that, I would forget about it and use conventional methods. It may be fast, but that may speed up your eventual exit from life (!)

good greeting
A nice and interesting theme to follow on to learn more about it
Depends on type of food you heating and cooking ,some will lose several vitamins and other will change the taste of food
Two Different Articles on Harmful effects of Microwave:
1: While it's true that microwave ovens emit tiny amounts of radiation, studies have shown that they're not nearly enough to cause cancer. A microwave could cause other injuries (like burns or cataracts), but only if it's been damaged and starts leaking large amounts of radiation—an unlikely occurrence.

If one opens the microwave machine you will find a huge magnet inside. Magnetic fields cause leukaemia in humans. How one could compromise the two favourably? Something will be harmful in the end, especially in the food you are about to eat.
The use of a microwave oven leads to the loss of certain nutrients and is accompanied by the accumulation of carcinogenic compounds.
