Guest guest Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Judy & pruegert, I rationalize that Judy's friend said that the live enzymes die once they reach the stomach is because non-raw foodists' stomachs DO produce higher concentrations of hydrochloric acid, which kills a lot of live enzymes. When you're raw or mostly raw, your body doesn't produce all this bad acid, so the foods you eat can safely produce much of the enzymes used to digest the nutrients, in conjunction with the enzymes our bodies produce themselves. So the enzymes wouldn't all be destroyed in a rawfoodist's stomach! Besides, body temperature is below 100 degrees! -Tiffany pruegert <pruegert wrote: I'm sorry I can't think of anything right now that could *prove* your point, but I think the health benefits he can see in you and your family in such a short time should be enough proof! It's not just enzymes though. Other nutrients also die and change their form and are not absorbed, so there are many different pieces to the puzzle. I went to a friend's house last night. She said that I am fooling myself eating raw. Eating live enzymes become dead anyway when you swallow them - there is no way they stay alive so it doesn't matter what you eat. He believes in eating more fruits and veggies but people who eat all raw are ignorant people who fool themselves. Come on - what about those live enzymes we eat??? Help?? What book tells me?
