>> Cooked foods are not nutrient depleted. Refining and processing does destroy some nutrients and the more refined/processed it is, the more the loss, but these foods still have some nutrients.

Isn't cooking removing the water(if any) from the food? In the case of grains isn't adding water make it a non-wholefood?

Hence if you remove something(water in this case) from the food doesn't that non-whole food(refined food)?

Yes there is some nutrients. If food is not refined then max nutrients is available(digestion allowed)
