Been eating like this for 3 years now so I’m okay lol. Roasting veg retains a lot of vitamin c. It’s boiling straight in water you need to be worried about.

To the contrary! Heating alone significantly degrades vitamin c, with the worst effects in vegetables seen at the longest cooking time, as you might suspect (pdf) https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download%3Fdoi%3D10.1.1.433.6839%26rep%3Drep1%26type%3Dpdf%23:~:text%3DVitamin%2520C%2520is%2520easily%2520destroyed,and%2520small%2520amount%2520of%2520water.&ved=2ahUKEwj16oHno6rrAhUOQjABHUMEAoAQFjAHegQIDRAW&usg=AOvVaw1itOheU8bme04XhEVHgyBU …

Weird, when I researched this (because I was afraid of getting scurvy after my allergies manifested and I don't want to take supplements). I saw a lot of stuff saying cooking in any kind of water makes it the worst.https://www.health.qld.gov.au/news-events/news/how-to-cook-vegetables-nutritional-value …

And the USDA has a chart somewhere about the percentage of nutrients depending on cooking methods. Looks like canned fruits retain about 50% of vit c (if I am reading this chart right). But higher for other types of cooking. https://www.ars.usda.gov/ARSUserFiles/80400525/Data/retn/retn06.pdf …

Shit, vitamin c testing apparently needs blood and I don't think Ursula will let me take blood EVEN THOUGH I am quite good at it.
