Current mood:
vital"Fresh Vs. Processed Produce.
Some fruits and veggies are better for you when they're canned or frozen...
...Frozen produce is nutritionally comparable to fresh but canned produce does lose some vitamins and minerals during the heating process. However, the canned versions of at least three vegetables are actually higher in healthful phytochemicals than their fresh versions: Corn, carrots, and tomatoes all benefit from the canning process."

I read this on the internet...on a Yahoo featured article. I just have the hardest time buying this. Canned veggies better for you than fresh??? Ummm... I don't think so. Not unless they are artificially injected with vitamins.
