Cooked Veggies and protein...

[Guest guest]

Twice over the last few days I have talked to people about how cooking

veggies is better for us and the very first argument I'm hit with is how it

destroys the proteins in the vegetables.

I've read Bee's articles but don't really see this issue addressed, but, as

I did a quick google search, it dawned on me that perhaps these people were

expecting to get most of their protein via vegetables! One, I know, is

eating a vegetarian diet (possibly because of his WIFE'S will!).

Perhaps it IS an issue if they are not consuming animal products and getting

a varied diet.

But the fact remains, doesn't it, that our bodies are not geared toward

breaking down the cell walls of raw veggies and thus they are not getting

the nutrients they think they're getting anyway, esp if they are afraid of

good fats added to it.....

Does anyone have a good article (that just doesn't " say " thus and so but has

scientific data to back it up) that would address this issue or thoughts on

it?

Thanks
