Absolutely!  Which is why I began adding these things to my diet, though
usually just at dinner.  The rest of my day is primarily raw veggies,
fruits, and juices.

Have to be careful on this one, Wes.  Avidin is a factor in raw egg
whites which can destroy biotin (a nutrient) in the body.  Cooking
destroys the avidin, and makes the biotin more available to the body.

>Heat is destructive, no doubt about it.

Under certain circumstances, yes.  In **every** circumstance?  No.
