do you think uncooked foods are superior to health?

Answer 1

In agreement with some of the other answers--- some foods are healthier, others need cooking to break down the cell walls enough to digest the nutrients.
Carrots are an example of this: healthiest is juiced carrots---but usually just raw carrots, chewed, are too hard to extract a lot of the vitamins. Cooking softens the cell walls so we can chew them and digest them.
With veggies just don't cook too long---most should have crispness left. And watch the method. If you boil them in water, be sure to drink the juice (make a soup)
Grains usually have to be cooked or soaked and sprouted.
Meat (which I actually do not consider a food) should be well cooked to kill parasites and bacteria and other horrible deadly things that don't belong in your body. Keep it away from everything else while preparing it too so as not to spread salmonella. Gotta wonder, if you have to watch out so much--- maybe we shouldn't eat it--

Answer 2

Alot of uncooked foods will make you ill if you eat them, mainly meats and eggs. As far as veggies, I know people who will not eat cooked veggies of any kind as they say all the nutrients have been cooked out. To each their own.

Answer 3

Well, in the most cases, the salads and fresh vegetables and fruits are better than the chips. But, don't try to eat uncooked eggs or meat.

Answer 4

It depends uncooked vegetables and fruits are better but dont try to eat any uncooked meat unless it is sushi.

Answer 5

Uncooked fruits and vegetables offer all their nutrients, and cooking them would take away many nutrients. However, cooking raw meats and fish is healthier and highly recommended.

Answer 6

In many instances, yes. I think you get more nutrients from raw foods. On the flip side though, there's some foods that are more nutritional cooked. Tomatoes, for example, are a good source of lycopene when they're cooked.

Answer 7

yes, less nutrients are striped from veggies that are raw.
