Some people say it's bad to "nuke" their food, but I've yet to hear why exactly it's bad. Are there nutritional benefits to microwaving food? Does it somehow seal in the goodness inside instead of, for example, boiling it out?

This is a quetion that produces conflicting views due to the lack of scientific research (or at least the publicly released results of that research). I have inlcuded a couple of good web links that explain some of those research results. They provide for some interesting reading.

I have a friend that won't even stay in the kitchen if you run the microwave believing somehow it generates cancer causing agents. I think that is bologna. I believe the microwave is a good way to cook vegetables. The longer they are exposed to heat the more vitamins we loose. Microwaving shortens the cooking time therefore giving us more of the vitamin's we need. Make sense?

Nutritional aspects are not affected. Microwaves cook be using radio frequency energy to excite the water molecules in food so that they generate the heat to cook the food. There is nothing "nuclear" about microwaving.

all microwaving does is excite water molecules to rotate so fast it produces friction and therefore heat, doesnt do anything to the nutritional value, it stays the same

truly the perfect answer for your question is cereal grasses like oat grass, barley grass, and so on.. the in elementary words different person that even got here on the point of having a respectable answer develop into the guy that wrote algae. blue-eco-friendly algae is the perfect nutrition source from the sea or sea.
