Question:

Which is healthier Raw Brocolii or boiled Brocolii?


Answers:
Actually, what you want to do is eat a combination of raw AND cooked broccoli...
In broccoli, there's an enzyme (called myrosinase) that produces special compounds whenever the plant's cell walls are ruptured (i.e. when you chew) that rev up your own liver's ability to detoxify carcinogens. But cooking inactivates the enzyme, such that people chomping down on steamed broccoli only seem to get about a third as much of these special cancer-fighting compounds as raw.

At the same time, cooking one's broccoli seems to increase the bioavailability of other cancer-fighters (called indoles) which help your body control hormone levels.

I would think raw as long as it is cleaned...but dont take my word for it...

raw is cooking takes out vitamins.

raw broccoli but ,it will give you a lot of gas

raw because of all the nutrients and when u boil it ,it gose away

Any kind of cooking will deplete some of the vitamin content to some degree.

Raw, when you boil vegetables they lose a lot of their good nutrients.

It seems to be complex-- some vitamins will leak into the cooking water, but cooking also breaks down membranes that help you better digest the food (which helps your body access the vitamins)

raw because boiling most things takes curtain things away from it in this case some nutrients.

Definitely raw.When you cook any veggie you loose alot of essential vitamins and minerals

i cant believe you said shakira was the worse album you ever boutght!! you better be talking about laundry service!!! cause all her other albums are the best!!!! i hate you!!!!!!!
