Roasting meat on a bq is much worse than using a microwave: it generates cancerogenous substances.
Heating up food in a microwave or in a stove or even in steam always modifies the structure of food.
It is precisely the whole purpose of cooking food: transforming the structure of raw food to make it more digestible.
Digestion also transform the structure of food. Cooking is not more than pre-digestion.

What people say is groundless.
There is no epidemiological facts against microwave.
Yet, you not convince those people by rational argument.
For your own research, I suggest you to search for such epidemiological data.
 
Eat more vegetables: this is at least a known epidemiogical fact.

This is a good time to remind you and a lot of other people here that this forum has a higher standard than others in the type of material and topics that we discuss. We do not engage in a discussion at a supermarket tabloid level. We also do not engage in speculative, rumor-level discussion.

"People say" isn't a valid starting point to discuss anything on here. As micromass has requested, you must provide a valid source as the starting point of a discussion. This valid source should be credible, such as a peer-reviewed publication in our list of accepted journals, or a news report in a credible publication. Otherwise, your source is no different than someone trying to sell you the latest cure for male impotence.

Emphasis mine. I would never ever trust such people.
