List of foods with enzyme inhibitors

[Guest guest]

ere's a list of raw foods that contain enzyme

inhibitors. Because they contain enzyme inhibitors you don't

want to eat them in their raw state. Sprout, marinate,

cook or leave them alone.<br><br>grains (including raw

wheat germ!)<br>seeds<br>nuts (especially

peanuts!)<br>potatoes (sweet, white)<br>beans (especially

soybeans!)<br>unripe mango, banana and papaya<br>egg

white<br>algae<br><br> " Raw wheat germ " was a surprise for me. I believe most

health minded people and doctors would think raw wheat

germ is one of the very best foods you could have. But

evidently it is not. Raw wheat germ will inhibit the enzyme

" trypsin " which is secreted in the body by the pancreas.

Trypsin breaks down protein into smaller components, such

as amino acids. You can probably get away with small

amounts but don't over do it.<br><br>Also, even sprouted

soybeans should not be eaten raw! So either cook them or

forget them.<br><br>-OrionsDad
