Don't forget that many foods have also been eliminated: grains, junk foods, onions & garlic, etc.

Also, certain cooking methods do produce toxins, like frying or charring. Acetaldehyde and acrolein, for example. I haven't found evidence of toxins produced from lower-temperature methods like steaming or boiling, though.
