Bok Choy Coma: Vegetable’s Enzymes Put 88-Year-Old Woman in Coma

A lot of vegetables have enzymes that are neutralized by cooking (and yes, you can have them crunchy) such as broccoli which can slow down your thyroid if you eat a lot of raw broccoli.

Traditionally the cultures associated w/ these foods eat them in a cooked state or we have a long culinary history of these foods being cooked.

In other words, cook the veggies that are traditionally consumed in a cooked state and only eat the veggies in a raw state that are traditionally eaten raw such as lettuce or avocado.

And of course, there are foods that have been eaten in either a raw and cooked state.
