Question:

Does microwaving food make it loose its nutritional value?


Answers:
Cooking will reduce the nutritional value of foods due to the heat breaking down some of the nutrients and boiling "washes" away some of the nutrients.

However, microwaving is a good way to cook foods to minimize the loss since microwaving is akin to steaming and is relatively fast.

yes

No it just cooks them a lot faster as you don't need to use a lot of water as you would when boiling.

Yes. There have been studies on this, the food is being zapped with radiation which is in no way healthy for your food or for you.
