Hi Marilyn;


The story IIRC is that up to about the age of 27 we create all the ezymes  
needed for proper digestion, then this ability declines as we age, or is  
worn out from over-use.

I studied digestion by comparing heartbeat after eating raw against  
cooked, and found that there is neither increase in rate nor arrhythmia  
after eating raw. I don't know why this happens, but enzymes seems as good  
a handle as any.

My Dr. told me that such experiments could be fatal to me, so you'll  
appreciate my interest in the accounts of others who personally try them.   
;)
