I believe the idea is that over a certain temperature, you destroy the enzymes.
I see that. But the body also makes enzymes of its own... plus the process of cooking actually accomplishes much of what the enzymes do.
What I was trying to get at is I take a bit of a issue with the "raw food" movement being somewhat of a misnomer. What? By "raw" you mean "raw or lightly cooked"? To me that is similar to talking about "animal rights" when you really mean "bird and mammal rights". I am using "you" in the general sense.
