Adding &quot;veggies&quot; at the end isn&#39;t absolutely necessary but it sounds better to my ear. 2) The antioxidant content of boiled carrot is three times higher than raw carrot. Again, not absolutely necessary but better sounding. 3) While they are being as healthy as boiled vegetables , baked veggies taste like as if they were simmered. Stick with either &quot;vegetables&quot; or &quot;veggies&quot;. Don&#39;t mix and match.http://www.englishforums.com/English/CouldCheckGrammar/gkgjh/post.htm#552222Fri, 24 Apr 2009 03:53:48 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:552222New2grammar1http://www.englishforums.com/English/CouldCheckGrammar/gkgjh/post.htm#552222http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-552222.xmlThanks for the advice. I&#39;ve been corrected on this type of construction many times. The next time I get corrected, I&#39;ll ask if it&#39;s just a matter of preference. :) Thanks, Clive.http://www.englishforums.com/English/CouldCheckGrammar/gkgjh/post.htm#552220Tue, 24 Mar 2009 04:53:48 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:552220Clive2http://www.englishforums.com/English/CouldCheckGrammar/gkgjh/post.htm#552220http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-552220.xmlHi, That&#39;s certainly good, but the words are commonly omitted.

I appreciate your help 1) British scientists have discredited the conventional wisdom of raw veggies being much healthier than cooked. OK. 2) The antioxidant content of boiled carrot is three times higher than raw carrot. OK. You might more commonly speak of &#39;carrot s &#39;. 3) While being as healthy as boiled vegetables, baked veggies taste like as if they were simmered. Say &#39;like&#39; or &#39;as&#39;, but not both. &#39;Like&#39; is more informal. &#39;While &#39;being&#39; is not wrong, but I&#39;d omit it or say it another way, eg While as healthy as . . . While they are as healthy as . . .
