Vitamin B12 and D

When eating certain raw foods, you need to beware

of enzyme inhibitors. When they enter your body,

they can inhibit the enzymes in your body. Here is a

repost of message #14 by our founder Orions Dad.

<br><br><br><br> Here's a list of raw foods that contain enzyme

inhibitors. Because they contain enzyme inhibitors you<br>

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<br> think

raw wheat germ is one of the very best foods you

could have. But evidently it is not. Raw<br> wheat germ

will inhibit the enzyme " trypsin " which is secreted in

the body by the pancreas. Trypsin<br> breaks down

protein into smaller components, such as amino acids. You

can probably get away with<br> 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

Whaaaaat?? Eggs have enzyme inhibitors in them

too? Say it aint so.<br><br>So does that mean it's

better to eat cooked eggs vs. raw eggs?? Aye

carumba!<br><br>But wait a sec. Lots of animals eat raw eggs as a

natural part of their diet and it doesn't harm them. How

would they affect us differently? I would guess that

aren't a natural part of our diet but didn't early man

eat raw eggs? Geez, this is all too confusing.
