Maybe is talking about the longer something is frozen the nutrients tend

to lessen. The same with shelf life of fruit and vegetables. The longer

they sit in the store and over ripen the more nutrients are lost. Fresh is

better if eaten right away but keep it in fridge or on counter too long and you

lose out. Flash freezing actually does preserve the nutrients if its done right

away when the fruit or vegetable is fresh but if they are kept in the freezer

too long the nutrients lessen because of the cold and aging process. This is

what I was told I don't know the scientific explanation but it made sense to

me.

Incorrect quoting; it was john codling who wrote that

freezing food depletes magnesium.

Otis, you explain things in a convincing, believeable way.

Would you be willing to explain to a the difference

between organic matter (that can deteriorate) and minerals

(that do not). You wrote:

Hi, I think it depletes enzymes. The microwave also depletes enzymes

in food. We need the enzymes for digestion and to absorb vitamins and

minerals.
