The jury's still out. Raw foodies always say that their way is the best, while still others swear by cooked food, so I think it's kind of a moot point. I also trust in the eastern systems of Chinese medicine and Ayurveda, which stress that everyone has their own individual body composition and some things that work for some people do not work for others. I am one of those people who needs a lot of warmth, so I love cooked foods, with lots of spices. But I have also had friends whose health dramatically improved on a raw food diet, so I think it all depends on your specific dietary needs and a lot of other factors that are largely individual.
