Cooking Sometimes Best Prep For Veggies -TAKE THAT, Natalie Portman!!!

Raw-Foodies… …

-Sooooooo Burrrrrrrrned!!!

It’s anathema for people like that to get over the “Eat it as I found it”-mantra, but various forms of cooking can help develop/change the amount of nutrients that actually make it into your bloodstream,

… -instead of just passing through you.

One of the veggies that benefits is the tomato. Raw food studies have found people deficient in Lycopene if it’s not cooked. ->Viva Italia!

It turns out even different cooking methods can have different effects. Microwaving can be better than the always-healthy-looking Steaming for some vegetables.

Boiling and Frying as expected, were particularly bad for all types of nutrients.

The biggest nutrient-destroying factors are High Temperatures, Long Cooking times, Alkalis (ex: baking soda and hard water), Prolonged Contact With Water, and Oxidation.
