I am also on the fence about microwaving. Just to be safer, I try to use it as little as often, lower power settings, and stay at least a few feet away from it, just in case. But yes, cooking even stovetop changes protein structure to make the protein harder to digest. But that's the trade off for sanitation via heat. However, I will be reading Nenah's link about nukers at lunchtime.
When I last looked up info about microwaving, there really was not much studies done on this, I don't think. Most sites referenced one researcher type who did a study comparing raw, conventional cooked and microwave cooked, but I'm not necessarily convinced by one person's study. Especially if it is a small study. With all that said, conventional stovetop and oven cooking still tastes WAY better, and the food stays hot much longer.
