Re: Medical Myths
I've just read an interesting chapter from The man who ate everything by Jeffrey Steingarten. In it he challenges the belief that raw vegetables are good for you. He points out that, to survive the onslaught of browsers, plants pump themselves full of toxins and repellents, many of which are destroyed by cooking. (Good thing dry beans don't taste good, as they're quite poisonous. Soft fruit, on the other hand, are intended to be eaten, as the animals that eat them also spread their seed.)
