Im assuming that raw brocolli has more nutrients and thus a better health value than steamed brocolli. Can this be confirmed by anyone?

Definitely different, as steaming occurs OVER water, whereas boiling occurs IN the water.

First, brocolli makes everyone FART. That being said, I know that you should steam vegetables over boiling in all cases but if you have to boil them make sure you drink the water they were boiled in to get the nutrients... or you could say screw it and just take a multivitamin!

Basically, for the veggies to lose their nutrients, the nutrients have to go somewhere, right? If you boil them, they seep into the water. If you steam them, they are not submersed in water so there's nowhere for them to go. So, unless you drink the water in which they are boiled, steamed veggies keep almost all of their nutrients.Quote:

The heating process makes the Lycopene more availale for your prostate, and Lycopene is an anti-oxidant that is a powerful deterent to cancer and offers prostate protection.
Excellent Lozgod, that's what I read I couldn't rememder where though!
I read it in Dr. Atkins Age-Defying Diet Revolution, believe it or not.Quote:
