Has there been any substantive research and results on the subject of microwaves (we've all heard the radiation theory, which everyone likes to shove under the rug). Even if not actually dangerous, does the microwave heating process (friction apparently) damage nutrient content of the food?

I heard that the heat is so intense that it destroys the nutrients in the food, so I got rid of mine, use a regular gas stove, heat tv dinners in a pan of water on the stove, and use crock pots for soups and such. I have lost a lot of fat and feel more energized since. However, a lot of people love the darn machines.

Not if you're smart enough to follow directions.
A standard oven can "damage nutrient content of the food" if you don't use it correctly!
A final note.. a "theory" is just that. It's NOT a fact. Shove it under the rug? You don't have to do that if there were any substance to the "theory".
