  • “Hi Jamie, thanks for your comment. You are correct that some nutrients are better absorbed when slight cooked or steamed, while other nutrients are better eaten raw. Certainly anyone who may suffer from bloating or stomach upsets when eating these foods, would be wise to lightly cook or steam them. We appreciate your feedback Jamie. In good health”

  • “I notice there is no mention of even lightly cooking the spinach and kale, both of which contain anti nutrients. Specifically oxalic acid. This will not only inhibit the ingestion of a significant percentage of available nutrients, but also could also cause many problems for some people. Bloating, stomach upsets etc.”
