Nutrients are destroyed by overcooking. Taste deteriorates when food is overcooked. There are beneficial enzymes in food which can deform or get.

Eating overcooked food of any sort, especially when burnt, is not good for you. The DNA or protein in foods must be broken down by your digestive system to be absorbed, so in normal cooking of foods the change that happens with DNA and protein typically wont effect its nutritional value.
