I agree with this caution.  It occurs to me that this may be
especially true of more modern cooking methods.  For example,
boiling, which is very ancient, cannot heat foods beyond 100
degrees Celsius. I don't know how hot buried-rock ovens get, but
I don't think it is all that hot.  I remember cooking things this
way in the Boy Scouts, and it took a long time for things to be
finished.  In contrast, modern appliances achieve much higher
temperatures, and this may increase nutrient damage.
