Guest guest Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 Judy: Not everyone is going to approve of any diet or lifestyle. We are all different and we have so many factors in our choices but it is helpful if we do what is best for us. I studied biochemistry. All cells have a gene for self destruction. IF this is triggered then enzymes are created within the cell (enzymes specific to this cell) that will dismantle the cell into components which for proteins is amino acids. This may be the digestive process that mono meals and raw foods take advantage of. I do remember talking with my biochem professor about absorption of whole proteins which there is evidence that it does happen (prions or mad cow for one). Common view is that proteins need to be separated into individual amino acids before absorption into the body. It would be nice to see this phenomenon studied.... Leah: In Anatomy and physiology we were told it takes 7 years to replace every atom in our bodies -- connective tissue fascia, tendons, ligaments, etc., do not have direct blood supply so they take the longest to be replaced. Have a great day. Bill Vancouver WA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
