Some nutrients do break down when they’re exposed to heat,whether it is from a microwave or a regular oven. Vitamin C is perhaps the clearest example.

So, as a general proposition, cooking with a microwave probably does a better job of preserving the nutrient content of foods because the cooking times are shorter.

Vegetables, pretty much any way you prepare them, are good for you, and most of us don’t eat enough of them.
And the microwave oven?
A marvel of engineering, a miracle of convenience — and sometimes nutritionally advantageous to boot.
