Many people bring lunch boxes to the company to heat them in the microwave, which saves time and effort. However, we often hear the saying that “microwave heating is not nutritious and may cause cancer.” Nutritionist Liu Yahui said that food heated by microwaves does not cause cancer. Compared with electric pots or water boiling, the heating time is shorter and the nutrients are preserved the most.

Liu Yahui on Facebook “Nutritionist Emma》The video points out that microwave heating time is shorter and can preserve more phytochemicals and trace elements, while the carbohydrates, proteins and fats will not be lost. Steaming and boiling require a long heating time, which can easily lead to the loss of vitamins B and C, and the nutrients will be destroyed.
Liu Yahui said that instead of worrying about microwave radiation, it is better to worry about “what food do you microwave?” If you often eat items high in salt, high in carbohydrates and low in fiber, long-term nutritional imbalance will be a problem.
The National Health Service has explained that microwave ovens heat food through “microwaves”, which are a type of electromagnetic waves that can easily penetrate insulators. Once started, microwaves will be generated inside, and when absorbed by food containing moisture, they will begin to Vibrating at the same frequency causes friction between molecules and generates heat energy, allowing the food to be fully heated from the outer layer to the inner layer.

Information from the American Cancer Society (ACS) points out that microwave ovens do not heat food through “X-rays” or “gamma rays”, so they do not make food radioactive, and microwave ovens do not change the molecular or chemical structure of food. According to information from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), compared with traditional cooking methods, using a microwave to heat food will not only not destroy food nutrients, but may also retain more vitamins and minerals.
