Unless you're just talking about juicing, in which case, it's a good thing to add to a normal diet.

How does eating only raw vegetables cause a nutrient insufficiency as opposed to eating cooked vegetables?
I use my veggie juice blender daily first thing in the morning - total nutrient absorption is higher than eating the veggie because the molecules are in liquid form and do not require further physical breakdown. As well, consumption in the morning with an empty stomach means that no nutrients are absorbed/trapped into the fiber of the veggies. These two points are what allows more nutrients to be absorbed as opposed to normal consumption.
