It doesnt destroy minerals, which are usually called nutrients. Iron, zinc , Potassium, Selenium etc..
It destroys vitamin C, not the other vitamins.
All amino acids are destroyded at temperature of 40 centigrade around 100 F.

Rule of thumb... the more heat applied to veggies and the longer it is applied, the more nutrients you lose. Light steaming is supposed to be the best if you must cook them.
