Is microwave cooked food is healthier than gas cooked food?

The first answer was :- i believe it is no because the microwave uses radiation waves to cook, either way microwave food is already gas pre-cooked.....My answer is :-The above answer is a common error although I simply can't understand why because Microwaves are a type of radio wave and are an electromagnetic wave...they are NOT a type of radiation but are wave like oscillations of electric and magnetic fields.The microwaves used to heat food in microwave ovens work by heating the water in foods at a frequency to optimally heats water molecules. The microwave energy is converted into heat energy of the water molecules, which in turn heat the other molecules in the food. You can not cook dry foods such as rice and pasta without water.
