Yes. We've all heard that all along. I know of several little quotes that relate to that and in several languages as well. So, there is a universality in that belief.
I never thought it applied to eating vegetables.
Well, there is a story in the NY England Journal of Medicine that said an old lady consumed several pounds of raw bok choy everyday for several months in the hope that it will cure here diabetes. This led to a life-threatening condition of low thyroid that led her to the emergency room.
Doctors diagnosed the root cause and say that some raw vegetables in excess can counter the body's natural healing and sustainablility. Cooked vegetables may not have caused it. However, everything in moderation was the key advice.
