Myten om att mikrovågsugnar förstör näringen i maten

[Snusmumrik]

Vad tror ni? Förstörs näringen i maten när man använder mikron? Det har jag fått höra ända sen jag var liten men har vid flera tillfällen stött på artiklar som hävdar rena raka motsatsen, som till exempel den här artikeln från NYTimes:

”According to most studies, however, the reality is quite the opposite. Every cooking method can destroy vitamins and other nutrients in food. The factors that determine the extent are how long the food is cooked, how much liquid is used and the cooking temperature.Since microwave ovens often use less heat than conventional methods and involve shorter cooking times, they generally have the least destructive effects.”

En forskningsrapport:
”A large amount of data is available on the effects of microwaves on vitamins. It is concluded that there are only slight differences between microwave and conventional cooking on vitamin retention in foods. In conclusion, no significant nutritional differences exist between foods prepared by conventional and microwave methods. Any differences reported in the literature are minimal.”
