This is the first time I have heard this. Do you have any references? I
still practice food combining a little bit. I'm not scientific but it seems
to work . . . simply because things digest quicker when one eats like no
matter how much you eat. In other words, the stomach empties quicker. This
seems like a good thing to me. The quicker the digestion the more energy you
have for other things. Isn't that the whole idea behind fasting?
