In many case-control and cohort studies, they reported the relationship between raw and cooked food to health risk and examined whether they may affect health risk differently. Review article of 28 case-control & cohort studies from 1994 to 2003, published by Columbia University, shows that cancer risk may be stronger for raw vegetables than cooked vegetables
Most of the evidence suggests that cooking food has harmful effects, as it destroys nutrients and enzymes, alters the structure and thus digestibility of food, and creates by-products that may be harmful.
