Hi Jeff,

From one of the leader's of the raw food movement:

"Heating proteins results in the formation of enzyme-resistant
bonds, making their digestion all but impossible."

I'd like to know if there's any evidence that proteins are damaged when we heat
(plant-based) foods. I'm specifically referring to the less damaging processes
like (water) boiling or steaming--and low to moderate heat baking--not barbecuing, frying, or any other high heat cooking or baking.

Thanks,

Tim
