I read briefly that carrots and beets are hybrids and therefore are somehow not healthy. Sounds odd to me, as I think of them (esp. beets) as being very healthy. Also, I have read that cooking tomatoes increases the amount of lycopene by like 10 times. But I have also read that they should be avoided.
Can anyone explain these things to me?

Well cooking will increase the lycopene in tomatoes yes, but decrease every other nutrient lol. It’s a bad trade-off. I believe raw is the most nutritious form but I still steam some veggies. I mean hell, if my weak point is freakin steamed vegetables I think I’m doing ok [ ;
yep, I LOVE boiled beets served with cut orange, and beet greens… that is my comfort food. I figure if my comfort food is cooked beets, then when my body craves it, I’m going to let myself enjoy it. :)
