Any study on Digestibility of vegetables.. (like this one done on eggs)..

[Guest guest]

The following study concludes that raw egg protein(whites) is almost

50% less digestible compared to the cooked one.

Is there any study like this for other foods, especially

vegetables/greens etc, to see which foods are better cooked and which

are better eaten raw.

Thanks

Dan, the answer is " it depends "

Here's a great and detailed discussion about the various pros and cons

of cooked versus raw:

There have also been a lot of discussions on this topic here on NN in

the past. Just use the NN web page search for cooked raw. When

I did that, 2099 messages were found. That'll keep you busy for a
