The slight advantage of fruits over vegetables in some studies may also reflect the fact that fruits are more likely to be consumed raw while vegetables tend to be cooked or harshly processed(& may be less easy to made free of pollutants).
Freezing,boiling,microwaving,cooking at high temperature & especially frying with the wrong fats may impair the nutritive value of veggies.
