Are canned, frozen or fresh vegetables healthier?

Q: Are canned, frozen or fresh vegetables healthier?  I would assume fresh, but want to make sure.

A: On the contrary, fresh vegetables lose some of their nutrients from the time they are picked until they enter your body.  Frozen and canned vegetables are packaged usually right after harvest, thus locking in the nutrients.

Tip: Make sure to prepare and eat canned vegetables in the juice.  The juice can hold a third of the nutrients.
