Yes it can. Also, some vitamins are water soluble, so if you boil your vegetables, the vitamins end up in the water, which usually gets poured away. There is an important exception. Raw tomatoes are full of all sorts of goodies, but when tomatoes are cooked, a substance called lycopene is found in them and it has powerful anti cancer properties.
