Well, I'd think there would be wide publicity about that if it were
true, but in any case the remedy seems simple. Keep eating those
veggies, but zap 'em in a pyrex or corningware dish instead of plastic.


Personally, I zap most frozen veggies, but steam or stirfry most fresh
ones. As to boiling, that still works well for some things, such as
corn on the cob, of course, and green beans, French style.
