I checked out that study, and it is not very scientific. There is no control group. Also, it is a self-reported online survey, which is subject to each participant's honesty, unbiasedness, accuracy, self-awareness, and insight.
However, to each their own. Hope it works for you.
Not really sure how anyone can argue that eating fresh organic unprocessed plant products wouldn't be healthier then the alternative. It's a fact that heating foods above 116 degrees kills nutrients and enzymes.
Cooked food does also play an important role in our diets as well, especially with certain carbohydrates. For example cooking or steaming carrots actually breaks down it's sturdy cell wall releasing more of this phytochemical. Lima beans are inedible u less cooked, they contain cyanide which is released during cooking.
So in summary both cooked and raw foods play crucial roles in our health; it's understanding which foods belong in which category that's going to reap the most benefits.

You forgot to mention I dated a chick that worked with autistic children and laughed when I told her about my ex- wife's diagnosis. You also failed to mention Shelagh self diagnosed herself with adult ADD....anxiety.. as well as a number of other conditions she got a prescription for from her M.D.
Smurf, my mom loves to tell the story about me in third grade where she bought me brand new shoes for school and I gave my old shoes to the poor kid that had his toes sticking out of his shoes, I hid them in my book bag because they were supposed to be my play shoes. I was punished and finally admitted to what I did and she felt bad for whipin my ass...
The best thing you can do for a poor person is to make their poverty uncomfortable...I don't lack empathy, I want them to achieve and nothing destroys the human spirit more than dependence. I don't lack empathy because I think making living on the public dole uncomfortable is a good thing for the person. The kid I gave those shoes too is still on the public dole..it didn't help him.
Smurf, having read the diagnosis criteria for aspergers I'm offended. One of Cindy's main issues with me is that I have no schedule....it really annoys her...

You know I was kidding, right? lol
I think Smurfy meant that you say rude things at weird times...she's suggesting that maybe you can't help it. No such luck.

well...as a for instance there are many foods (e.g., peas, carrots, cherries, etc.) that i have to cook before i eat to specifically kill/deactivate the enzymes, otherwise, if i pop a handful of fresh-from-the-garden peas in my mouth (as a for instance) and start chewing them, my throat will swell shut before i even get a chance to try and swallow them...it's not a bad enough reaction to require hospitalization, but the effect lasts for an hour or so and my mouth and throat itch like HELL the whole time and it makes the whole damn experience kinda not-so-fun for me...in fact i'd say it has a fairly adverse effect on the whole "sense of well-being" thing for me
