Frying or not frying, that's the question...

Yes, frying eggs we destroy some nutrients but that's not the real

issue. The real issue is that heating oil to the point of frying

generates free radicals. If you want an egg, boil it by all means or

poach it. I love a boiled egg -- hard-boiled or soft-boiled. But I

love my egg best raw.

Don't be frightened by warnings that raw egg white destroys biotin.

That applies only to raw egg white consumed in isolation. The yolk of

the whole egg contains enough biotin to cancel any such risk.

Why fry at all? I never fry -- not eggs, not meat, not vegetables. As

you can condition your taste buds to like what's not good for you, you

can recondition them to like what's good for you.

The more raw, the better. True, certain vegetables such as carrots yield

more of their nutritional goodness if at least steemed cuz the human

digestive system cannot digest the fiber in them. But you can cheat

nature by breaking the fiber with a hand blender making those vegetables

into readily digested smoothies. Animals in the wild, who haven't

learned how to cook, don't get sick. They grow old and, when their time

is up, to go to sleep one night not to wake up the next morning. That

is wild animals that live in a wild environment that has not been ruined

by man.
