Cooked food vs raw food

COOKED
VS
RAW
The big question is: Should we cooked food or raw food?
Well, it is said that many of the important nutrients of the vegetables or other foods are being lost during cooking. If this is the case then wouldn't be eating a lot less nutrients? But we can't possible eat them raw now can we?:)
Science proves that cooking not only destroys nutrition and enzymes, but chemically changes foods from the substances needed for health into free-radicals and poisons that destroy our health. Most researchers also believe that the greater the percentage of raw food in the diet, the greater the health benefits.
However, it is well-known that cooking may result in some vitamin and mineral losses.But not all vitamins are lost by heating, other factors (such as exposure to air or light) may result in vitamin loss; and heating by itself doesn't destroy minerals.
In nature all animals eat living foods as grown up by Nature. Only humans cook their foods and only humans suffer sicknesses and diseases. Those humans who eat mostly raw foods are more alert, sharper and more logically and more active. Best of all, live food eaters become almost sickness-free! Apparently, that is what research shows although we may not agree.
Cooking is a process of food destruction from the moment heat is applied to the foodstuff. Don't believe? Try putting your hand into boiling hot, and THAT should persuade you that heat is very very destructive! When we cook food, we usually put these food into boiling hot stuff for perhaps half and hour or longer. All the nutrients and good minerals would be totally destroyed!
Thus you can see that cooked foods make people more prone to diseases, dull and the chance of dying at an earlier age:o
So what do you think? Is cooked food or raw food better?
P.s i think raw food is better although its gross.
