I should complete the research, but according to some reliable sources of mine, it rearranges particles in the food, essentially turning most if not all of the microwaved food into something the body doesn't know how to process. What does the body do then? It converts it into fat! OK, off of the soapbox now. Good info, good post & keep up the good work!

I think the methods varied in previous studies, thus possibly affecting the results in previous studies. I'm with you on the steamed preference though as far as taste is concerned. Bazu:

I haven't quite formed my thoughts on it (which is very usual for me!). Hmmm…I’d like to hear more about the vegan strip club thing.

For instance, lightly steamed broccoli completely beats microwaved broccoli in the nutrition department.

She's not a big microwave fan, and I've sorta gotten over it (we use it more as a timer than to cook), but I'd like to eat even more veggies than I do, and cooking can take so much time, so it was good to see this. Also, thanks for the link to my last TB column! (PS - your tag says "acitivism") :D I forwarded the NY Times article to my wife.

Suppose it's still good news for really busy people, people with children, etc. who want to make sure they're not sacrificing nutrients for convenience.
