Thank you for the citations. I can see that the amount of possible toxins
in cooked foods eaten occasionally is not a problem for people who
otherwise eat a fairly healthy kind of diet. There are plenty of toxins
in raw foods as well. When I think about the problems with overly cooked
and processed foods, I'm focusing more on the people who eat SAD.

That's very helpful.
