I cook my sweet potato and eggs in the microwave...

>cooking food doesnt denature the protein in it until you burn it
Any protein exposed to heat above body temp (outside of specially adapted extremophile proteins) are going to denature, which simply means the protein is losing it's functional 3-D shape to basically just be a long string of amino acids.

Normie bullshit. Yes heat denatures protein. No this is not bad for you. The shit denatures in your stomach anyway. Microwaves don't give you cancer but may be inappropriate from a culinary standpoint. Food safety is not an issue unless you're eating raw meat (fuck you sverige)

It's bullshit.
Microwaving is actually the cleanest way of heating food.
Heating any food can denature it.
He's not a chemist

The microwave causing cancer thing is mom science voodoo horseshit but I expect this post to fall on deaf ears because there are enough retards here who are genuinely terrified of fluoride, chemtrails, and s-o-y turning them into women.

This was probably a cover for some dissident dying mysteriously from a KGB nerve agent.

It was the microwave, you see...

hehe
srsly tho raw meat isn't that bad. I eat raw steak from the butcher pretty often and have never gotten sick from it. Raw kangaroo from the supermarket as well. Haven't tried old meat raw though.

>He said cooking food specifically in the microwave denatures the nutrients, not cooking food in general
He's retarded. Only biological macromolecules with non-covalent 3d shapes can denature. Nutrients can degrade in the presence of more extreme conditions, but the heat of cooking usually doesn't do much to small organic molecules (need to get particularly hot to get significant chemical transformations, in the range of 350-500 degrees). Microwave ovens simply generate microwaves that resonante with water's vibrational frequence (specific energy for O-H bonds) that causes the water molecules to absorb a bunch of energy and essentially heat up. The temperatures of a microwave oven generally can not reach the high temperatures required for major chemical transformations.

Fluoride is literally linked to hypothyroidism prevelance though.

Medfag here.
Protein denaturation is perfectly safe and is what turns the egg from liquid to solid. Imagine a protein as a long chain of amino acids tied to one another and then jumbled into a 3D structure like a ball of yarn. Heat changes its structure and can often unravel the ball into a polypeptide string, like said, which makes it easier to digest as enzymes will access it easier during digestion.

There was also a study done on cooking vegetables in the microwave vs boiling and the amount of nutrients lost is actually greater with conventional cooking methods in contrast to microwaving.

With oil you should always be sure not to expose to extreme temperatures but microwaving food with oil for a bit isn't dangerous.

all microwaves do is vibrate the water molecules causing friction which heats up your food. Tell your boss he is a bro science faggot

your friend is a moron

There was some study done by school kids who used microwaved water and non-microwaved water on plants and the microwaved water group did worse os something.
Now that's some science.
Microwaves are bad tho.

Microwaves are no worse than your stove. Its just a different way to achieve the same goal albeit with slightly less control over temperature. Microwaved and non microwaved water are completely identical to one another.

I don't know about the trans fat thing but you should not be microwaving eggs just because they'll taste better in a pan. Learn some cooking skills, women love it.

Eating raw meat but in particular kangaroo is peak retardedness

So I can microwave my whey + oats it won't affect the protein ? I always cook the oats then mix the protein.

not true at all, you don't know about water clusters or nano-structured water brah

the nutrients were only lower in the conventionally cooked vegetables because the fat and water are drained away, but if you pour that back over the food and eat it then the nutrient content is higher than microwave

The mouth feel of microwaved eggs is disgusting.

Prove me wrong sciencefags, oh wait, you can't.

Shit. I cook my food with oil all the time. What else am I supposed to cook it with?

Butter

Don't burn your oil kids
Learn the smoke point of different oils and use them accordingly

it's overcooked..... cook the shit out of it on a stove or oven, you'll get the same result.
