does the microwave destroy the nutrients
0:02
in your food it's important to note that
0:03
all forms of cooking will have an effect
0:05
on the nutrients in your food just how
0:06
much of an effect that form of cooking
0:07
will have will depend on the temperature
0:09
of the food is cooked at duration of the
0:11
cooking process and ultimately the
0:13
method used to cook it in the first
0:14
place as cooking may not necessarily
0:16
destroy nutrients per se it does
0:18
certainly lead to a loss of nutrients in
0:20
some cases a common example would be the
0:22
seeping out of vitamins and minerals
0:23
that we see very often whenever we boil
0:26
our vegetables next time we have a spare
0:27
broccoli head lying around try boiling
0:29
it and see what color the water turns
0:31
it's a whole lot of nutrients that
0:32
you're going to be flushing down the
0:33
drain but what about the microwave while
0:34
cooking times are generally short and
0:36
the temperatures that food is cooked at
0:38
are generally quite low as well
0:39
Additionally you wouldn't run into the
0:40
same seeping out of vitamins and
0:42
minerals issue that you would if you
0:44
were to boil the food in fact studies
0:45
show that microwaving your food is no
0:47
more destructive than other kinds of
0:48
cooking and in fact it may actually make
0:50
certain nutrients more bioavailable all
0:52
in all microwave isn't actually that bad
0:54
it might actually reduce some of the
0:56
possibly unhealthy byproducts that are
0:58
formed whenever we use other forms of
0:59
cooking
