and 35% of vitamin C. Most of what is left is thrown away in the
cooking juices. Up to 50% of vitamin E content of food is
destroyed by frying or baking. Grains (like wheat) lose 50-100% of
all vitamin B6 and approximately 50% of their panthothenic acid
when processed and refined. Enzymes - possibly one of the most
healthy properties of plants - are completely destroyed when
cooking.
