They definitely have. Anytime food is cut (like shredded carrots, those pre-sliced apples, etc.) and exposed to air, more nutrients are lost. Shredded carrots would be particularly bad, since much more of their surface area is exposed.
A food processor is one of the most useful kitchen tools I own--it makes hummus dip and guacamole and bean dip and such in a fraction of the time it would take to prepare without it.
If you don't want to invest in a food processor, there are some hand-crank versions (like Salad Shooter) that are faster than grating, but much less expensive than a food processor.

>interesting! I wonder what else gets stuck in there?

Popcorn hulls.
Back in the 70's, when I was experimenting with a lot of things, I did a 3-day water fast, with enemas and intestinal massage (to help get stuff out with the enemas). Some of the stuff that came out was popcorn hulls, and I hadn't eaten popcorn for over two weeks.
