Thanks to everyone involved for this new session. It's always wonderful to read. I especially appreciate questions about our lost history from our distant past, such as Atlantis.
There was another question asked previously regarding microwaving food but I can't quote the whole thing, so here is the link:
Anti-Candida, Inflammation, Heavy Metals Detox and Diet
Here is the original transcript:
However, being harmful is not the same as losing nutritional value.
I've asked ChatGPT for a quick answer because I don't have time to research this topic this morning. Although its answer seems about right, it might need to be investigated further for accuracy since AI sometimes can give wrong answers. Here is it:
Question: Does food lose some of its nutritional value from reheating?
Answer: Reheating food can cause some loss of nutritional value, depending on factors such as the cooking method used initially, the temperature and duration of reheating, and the type of nutrients present in the food. Here are some considerations:
That's a good question!I was thinking about this overnight. Does it lose its value from microwaves or just simply reheating in general? Still reading through the thread incase others have discussed already.

Q: (L) Is microwaved food harmful to the person who consumes it?
A: Not much.
However, being harmful is not the same as losing nutritional value.

Question: Does food lose some of its nutritional value from reheating?
Answer: Reheating food can cause some loss of nutritional value, depending on factors such as the cooking method used initially, the temperature and duration of reheating, and the type of nutrients present in the food. Here are some considerations:
- Heat-sensitive nutrients: Certain vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin C and B vitamins, are sensitive to heat and can degrade when exposed to high temperatures during cooking and reheating.
- Loss of water-soluble nutrients: Water-soluble vitamins like vitamin C and B vitamins can leach out into cooking water or be lost through steam during reheating.
- Protein denaturation: Reheating can cause proteins to denature, potentially reducing their bioavailability and digestibility. However, this effect is generally minimal unless the food is overheated.
- Formation of harmful compounds: Reheating certain foods, especially those containing fats or proteins, can lead to the formation of potentially harmful compounds such as acrylamide or advanced glycation end products (AGEs). These compounds may have negative health effects if consumed in large quantities over time.
