Raw vs cooked veg
Hi all,
we all know that eating veg is good right, but perhaps try to consider eating some/lots of these raw seems to be even better:
"
It is clear from this review that both raw and cooked vegetables<SUP> </SUP>are inversely related to several epithelial cancers, particularly<SUP> </SUP>those of the upper gastrointestinal tract, and possibly to breast<SUP> </SUP>cancer. Although more of the studies showed a statistically<SUP> </SUP>significant inverse relationship between raw vegetables and<SUP> </SUP>cancer than either cooked or total vegetables, the literature<SUP> </SUP>is too varied to compare definitively. Studies on diet and cancer<SUP> </SUP>need to differentiate between raw and cooked vegetables in their<SUP> </SUP>methods of food recall and in their analyses. In addition, more<SUP> </SUP>consistency is needed regarding the types of vegetables assessed<SUP> </SUP>in each category. In the meantime, the public should be encouraged<SUP> </SUP>to increase their vegetable intake and to consider eating some<SUP> </SUP>of them raw"
