Microwaves are meant to be shockingly bad for you - I believe they zap all nutrients out of the food

Did you read that on the back of a beer mat or something.

All nutrients? Every single macro and micronutrient vanishes into the ether because of microwaves? Is there a time scale for this, or as soon as the buzz of the microwave sounds, the food suddenly has the nutritional value of Styrofoam? I look forward to my zero fat and carb microwaved leftover Dominos next time due to this astonishing phenomenon.
