Enzyme
supplementation is recommended for anyone who consumes
a cooked food diet or in the aid of other health conditions.
The old axiom, “you are what you eat” is
only partially right. More correctly stated, “you
are what you eat, digest, absorb and are able to utilize.”
Natures plan calls for food enzymes to help with digestion
instead of forcing the body’s digestive enzymes
to carry the whole load. If the human organism must
devote a huge portion of its enzyme potential to making
digestive enzymes, it spells trouble for the whole body
because it drains the pool of enzyme machinery needed
to make the metabolic enzymes. Eating enzymeless foods
contribute to obesity and weight gain. Raw calories
are relatively non-stimulating to glands and tend to
stabilize weight. Cooked calories excite glands and
tend to be fattening. Calorie indexes, and science,
make not distinction between the amount of raw and cooked
calories. As a general rule, cooked foods are much more
fattening than raw foods, even of the same type (i.e.
raw vs. cooked bananas).
