I found this for you; -Vitamins A, D, E and K are unstable and destroyed by heat. Vitamins C and B complex levels are extremely decreased by cooking. That is why all the food in the grocery store is “enriched with vitamins and minerals”. It is not to add anything extra for the consumers benefit, its added because the cooking destroys all that is naturally there to begin with. When wheat is processed to make white flour 25 known nutrients are removed in the process. Then it is fortified/enriched back with only 5. Enriched versions of vitamins and minerals pale in comparison to the original ones found naturally in raw plants. These enriched compounds are synthetic and man made. In fruits, veggies and grains, nature provides vitamins and mineral in the exact proportion and ratio that we need. Man made supplements can never be exact in this way. Our bodies are capable of having 92 minerals present; when you eat a cooked food diet you are lucky to have 15. If you eat only organic produce you may have 50 or so. My goal was to get all 92. How do I accomplish that? I eat “superfoods”. They are foods that have the highest vitamin and mineral content of any food known. Foods like bee pollen, maca, gogi berries, raw chocolate, sea-weeds, spirulina, powdered grasses, medicinal mushrooms, hemp seeds, blue green algae, noni, and celtic sea salt. I make coconut smoothies with powdered superfoods mixed right in, they are the best tasting and most nutritious smoothies ever! Many diseases can be caused by vitamin and mineral deficiencies and can thus be cured by the reversing the deficiency. For example, vitamin C deficiency causes scurvy, which is quickly reversed by the simple eating of some citrus fruit containing vitamin C. A lack of vitamin D can cause rickets and a lack of vitamin B3 can cause pellagra (lesions of the skin and mucous membrane, diarrhea, neurological derangement). A goiter is an enlargement of the thyroid gland in the throat. Usually it is caused by a lack of the mineral iodine. It can be reversed if iodine is added to the diet. Who knows what other aliments are caused by vitamin and mineral deficiency, and to think they can be cured so easily by just adding fruits and vegetables to your daily diet. What tasty medicine! (Dont forget that organic foods contain much more vitamins and minerals that conventional farming.) decadentlyraw/node/28 .
