And aluminum oxidizes readily at room temperature and creates an aluminum oxide layer that protects the other aluminum from being oxidized.

Do you eat barbecue? Cooking food unprotected over an open flame is more harmful because the process of combustion actually DOES change molecules.
Oh wait, you smoke.... changing molecules by combustion....uh oh, WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!!!! AAAAAAAH!
Stinky I have to disagree with you. I believe that microwaves destroy more nutritional value than any other cooking method. They all destroy some but microwaves are the worst.

It is because the high energy waves, as you know, vibrate the water molecules in food. These same waves can oxidize an electron off a molecule creating a free radical which can react with many other things like antioxidants such as vit C. I believe the waves can rip off OH2 groups off of bigger molecules too.
