Microwaves, Nutrition and ready meals.
Discussion
People, I have a very quick (prob stupid) question.
The MIL is adament that microwaves kill the nutrients in food (which is obviously rubbish right?!?!). I disagree with her, stating that surely if a ready meal has a list of nutrients on the box, this must be after cooking(assuming you dont overcook it)? there isnt two lists based upon how its cooked.
one more question. How do they produce the list of nutrients?
Do they measure them from the meal (dunno how) or just calculate it, ie recipe has 2 carrots, take figures for carrot muiliptly by 2?
TIA.
