is carrot best eaten raw?

lets set the record straight once for all. is carrot best eaten raw or cooked?
since im into healthy stuff right now, and I eat carrot a lot, in soup and stir fry, i wanted to know if im doing the right thing here. eventhought, I dont like the taste of the raw carrot, but if I get more nutrient eating raw, I'll be munching the raw all the time, from now on, but if cooking carrot doesn't take away all the good stuff, then I'll stick to cook carrot, which is my favorite.

So many spekulation going on around the internet about carrot, some people say you get the full benefits/ nutrients when you eat them raw as some nutrients are lost in the cooking process( High temperature, when you cook something, or bake, destroys those good thing in carrots.
