A core tenet of the diet is that heating food above 104 degrees not only diminishes its nutrients
Dead or cooked foods are said to be depleted of their life energy as well as most of their nutrients.
Cooking destroys nutrients Sure raw foods can be nutritious. But cooking breaks apart fibers and cellular walls to release nutrients that otherwise would be unavailable from the same raw food.
Cooking tomatoes for example increases by fivefold the bioavailability of the antioxidant lycopene. Similarly cooking carrots makes the beta-carotene they contain more available for the body to absorb.
Soups are full of nutrients that would not be available in a pot of raw carrots onions parsnips and potatoes.
Admittedly some nutrients are lost in cooking such as Vitamin c and certain B vitamins. But plants are so excess in nutrients that even this breakdown is insignificant in practical terms said John Mcdougall creator of the Mcdougall Program a vegan-friendly starch-based diet.
And by eating both raw and cooked foods you get the best of both worlds said Jennifer Nelson director of clinical dietetics at the Mayo Clinic and associate professor of nutrition at the Mayo Medical school in Rochester Minn.
Fermenting or juicing raw foods also can make some nutrients more available but that shouldn't deter from the fact that cooking is an ancient craft that makes some foods more digestible and nutritious.

In fact a child raised on a raw vegan diet without proper supplementation would likely develop severe neurological and growth problems due to a lack of Vitamin b12 and other nutrients.
Adults who have eaten animal products for more than 20 years by contrast have the benefit of relying on bodily stores of certain key nutrients.
Cooking in particular opened up a new world of calories and nutrients. The human brain after all requires a lot of energy.
Your body starts digesting these starches from the moment you start chewing extracting nutrients and energy.
The human body does not absorb nutrients or energy from them. Soluble fiber dissolves in water making food more viscous slowing digestion

#What Is Gluten? Gluten refers to the proteins found in wheat endosperm (a type of tissue produced in seeds that's ground to make flour.
Gluten both nourishes plant embryos during germination and later affects the elasticity of dough which in turn affects the chewiness of baked wheat products.
Gluten is composed actually of two different proteins: gliadin (a prolamin protein) and glutenin (a glutelin protein.
Though true gluten is defined sometimes as being specific to wheat gluten is said often to be part of other cereal grains including rye barley
and various crossbreeds because these grains also contain protein composites made from prolamins and glutelins.
Why is gluten bad? Gluten isn't necessarily bad but some people are gluten-intolerant meaning their bodies produce an abnormal immune response
when it breaks down gluten from wheat and related grains during digestion. The most well-known form of gluten intolerance is celiac disease
which affects one in every 141 people in the United states according to the National institutes of health. When someone with celiac disease consumes gluten it triggers an immune response that damages their intestines preventing them from absorbing vital nutrients.
 Wheat allergy is a rare type of gluten intolerance it's a classic food allergy marked by skin respiratory or gastrointestinal reactions to wheat allergens.
Recently scientists have become aware of another potential form of intolerance called nonceliac gluten sensitivity.
After consuming gluten patients with gluten sensitivity may experience many celiac disease symptoms such as diarrhea fatigue
and joint pain but don't appear to have damaged intestines. In cases of gluten intolerance doctors typically recommend a gluten-free diet.
Patients must avoid eating any foods and ingredients that contains gluten including bread beer french fries pasta salad dressing soy sauce
and even some soups (unless otherwise marked as gluten-free). In recent years many people without gluten intolerance have taken up gluten-free diets.
Experts worry however that going on these diets without explicitly needing to could be detrimental to a person's health as gluten-free foods are often nutrient-deficient.

#What is Hay fever? Simply put it's a misnomer. Doctors and researchers who specialize in allergies prefer the term allergic rhinitis
because hay is not the culprit and most allergies don't involve any fever. About 40 million Americans suffer from the condition whatever it's called.
Symptoms include stuffy and runny nose watery and itchy eyes sneezing wheezing and cough. There are dozens of substances that potentially can cause trouble in those of us who are susceptible to allergies
but trees are usually the first on the scene during spring allergy season says Jay M. Portnoy M d. president of the American College of Allergy Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI) and chief section of allergy
A thick golden liquid produced by industrious bees honey is made using the nectar of flowering plants
Nectar a  sugary liquid is extracted from flowers using a bee's long tube-shaped tongue
While sloshing around in the crop the nectar mixes with enzymes that transform its chemical composition
When a honeybee returns to the hive it passes the nectar to another bee by regurgitating the liquid into the other bee's mouth.
This regurgitation process is repeated until the partially digested nectar is deposited finally into a honeycomb. Once in the comb nectar is still a viscous liquid nothing like the thick honey you use at the breakfast table.
To get all that extra water out of their honey bees set to work fanning the honeycomb with their wings in an effort to speed up the process of evaporation.
But most people use the term to refer to the gelatin-based desserts that are sold also under the Jell-o name.
Those consist of gelatin in addition to colorings sweeteners and other flavorings such as strawberry orange and lime. Gelatin itself is a collection of long stringy animal-based proteins called collagen
which bond together in three-stranded helical structures similar to the two-stranded helices of DNA.
Urban legends claim that gelatin comes from horse or cow hooves though that's not exactly true.
The collagen in gelatin does come from boiling the bones and hides of animals processed for their meat (usually cows and pigs).
which can't produce gelatin. To make Jell-o you need to heat the gelatin in water.
Heating breaks the bonds holding the collagen together. Next the heated water-gelatin solution must be cooled allowing the collagen strands to rebond in a network
but now with water trapped inside. The collagen network gives Jell-o its semisolid properties while the trapped water keeps it jiggly.

Honeybees use both visual and olfactory cues to recognize flowersâ that produce nectar in return for insect pollination.
Not all flowers produce nectar and bees avoid those that don't by learning to recognize the odors of nectar-bearing flowers.
Honeybee smell recognition The researchers also conditioned a group of honeybees to recognize the synthetic floral odor by repeatedly exposing them to it in conjunction with a nectar reward.

Most grain contains inedible chaff (fed to animals) bran (the oil-rich outer layer) germ (the grain seed's nutrient-rich embryo) and the endosperm (the starchy center.

and getting more key nutrients than people who never eat the cultured dairy product  new research shows.
Yogurt is a very good source of many shortfall nutrients calcium potassium and magnesium that Americans don't currently consume enough of said study author Paul Jacques of  Tufts University.
 Yogurt is a good way to meet your dietary requirements for nutrients that you may not be currently eating.
 Boosting shortfall nutrients People participating in the study were asked to recall how often they ate a one-cup serving of yogurt.
and 55 percent less apt to have shortfalls of Vitamin b12 a nutrient lacking in some older people's diets.

Broccoli also contains additional nutrients including some magnesium phosphorus a little zinc and iron. Here are the nutrition facts for broccoli according to the U s. Food and Drug Administration
The way that you prepare broccoli can affect the amount of nutrients you get and which ones.
Boiling led to the biggest losses of cancer-fighting nutrients. Steaming for up to 20 minutes microwaving for up to three minutes and stir-frying for up to five minutes produced no significant loss of cancer-preventive substances.
Raw broccoli maintains all of its nutrients but it is also more likely to irritate your bowels and cause gas.
Zebra like anthrax grasses The scientists found that the soil fertilized by the carcasses they studied was rich with nutrients such as phosphorus and nitrogen.
The grass around the carcasses was also significantly taller and richer in nutrients. The scientists also discovered that anthrax spores were found on grasses up to two years after the zebras had died.
Carcass sites became less attractive 1. 5 to 2. 5 years after a zebra had died once the nutrients from the corpses faded away.
Because anthrax prevents blood from clotting the researchers suspect that the anthrax-ridden carcasses might release more nutrients into the soil than regular carcasses do

The score given as a percentage quantifies the amount of beneficial nutrients contained in the fruit
In the study as well as in nutritional guidelines a food earned powerhouse status by providing on average 10 percent or more of the daily recommended intake of 17 qualifying nutrients in a 100-calorie serving.
These 17 qualifying nutrients which health organizations have identified as helping to protect against cancer heart disease
calcium fiber folate iron niacin potassium protein riboflavin thiamin and zinc and several vitamins (A B6 B12 C D E and K). Foods containing more of these nutrients
and those with fewer nutrients ranked lower Di Noia explained. It may seem surprising that blueberries
and vegetables that didn't make the cut as powerhouses were not good sources of the nutrients used to index the foods
The list of powerhouse produce may help consumers focus on how to get the most nutrients from their foods Di Noia said.
I think the message is to encourage consumption of all of the foods on the powerhouse list which by definition are good sources of the qualifying nutrients Di Noia said.
