Re: Comments please: Cooking tomatoes?

[Guest guest]

Here's just a very short line that I received this morning in a daily delivery...............

Last night raw food author Wolfe was interviewed by Noory on Coast to Coast AM Radio with 10 Million Listeners! One question he was asked is if it was true that certain foods have more nutrients when they are cooked. Wolfe said that blending the raw foods allows phytonutrients to be released.

Hi TerriLynne,

Nature made the tomato perfect as it is raw. When it is cooked, yes the

lycopene content goes up but almost all other nutrients die off or are

rendered inorganic. All the phytochemicals in foods and plants are made

to work in synergy and are harmonious to our body. Cooking destroys this

harmony. Your daughter would be much better off eating the tomatos raw

as would anyone else.

This article is another way that the powers that be plan on keeping you

ill by telling you that cooking is good for you.

Peace be with you, TerriLynne.
