Are you "killing" the nutrients in your food? InstantPots, microwaves, and leftovers…and my only cardinal rule

Does your food lose its nutritional value as soon as it hits the heat? This week on Nutrition Diva, Monica answers a listener's question about how different cooking methods—specifically the Instant Pot versus the stovetop—impact the vitamins and minerals in your meals. We look into the science of nutrient retention, debunking "urban legends" about microwaving, and explaining why frozen vegetables might actually be more nutritious than the "fresh" ones sitting on your counter. The "New Car" Analogy: Does nutrient value drop immediately, or is it a gradual decline?Pressure Cooking vs. Boiling: Why the Instant Pot often beats the stove for preserving fragile vitamins.The Leftover Equation: How many nutrients are actually left in your 3-day-old chili?The Cardinal Rule: The one thing you should never do when reheating food (hint: it’s not about the nutrients, it's about microplastics).The Kale Chip Lesson: Why the "most nutritious" way to cook is the one that actually gets eaten.

Is coffee mold actually making you sick?

856. According to the internet, your morning brew might be hiding "mold toxins" that cause brain fog, fatigue, and digestive issues. But is mold-free coffee a bona fide health breakthrough, or just a clever marketing play? This week, Monica takes a closer look at the science of mycotoxins in coffee, specifically Ochratoxin A (OTA). We separate food safety facts from "wellness guru" fiction to find out if standard coffee beans are actually undermining your health. What Mycotoxins Are: Understanding the difference between visible mold and chemical compounds like Aflatoxin and Ochratoxin A. The Roasting Defense: Why the roasting process is your best protection against toxins and why "green coffee" products carry different risks. Hazard vs. Risk: A crucial distinction in food safety—is the presence of a toxin the same thing as a threat to your health? Practical Prevention: 4 simple steps to minimize exposure—from checking "roasted on" dates to proper home storage—without paying a premium for specialty brands. The Big Picture: How coffee compares to tea, herbal infusions, and cocoa when it comes to OTA levels.Related Episodes: Episode #517: Aflatoxins in Peanuts Episode #355: The Difference Between Hazard and RiskNew to Nutrition Diva?
