The 3 options for cooking give you the choice of adding a chemical, an oil carcinogen or a natural steam to the dish. No matter which way of cooking it you choose the dish will turn out the same except only one of the ways of cooking adds zero negatives to the dish. If you can, I would always go with the steam fry but once in a while cooking in the other styles won't kill you. Knowing you have the options and you have the choice always makes the healthy choice the easy one for me!
