Is that really a good rule of thumb? As you probably suspect, that guideline has “fad” written all over it. In some cases it might prove to be useful, but not very often, Filipic answered.

Although the end products are usually enriched with some of the nutrients they lost during pro cessing, they don’t get everything back.
