Hi all, Jean-Louis: > 2] There is (as far as I know) no evidence that some enzymes from food >are useful for the body apart from digesting the food from which they >come. There is no signs of deficiencies when someone doesn't eat enough >live enzymes, contrary to what happens when someone lack vitamins. In the science section of my newspaper (F.A.Z.) I frequently find articles about causes for ailments. Several articles state, that the lack of a certain enzyme is the cause of a certain ailment. Usually there follows the sentence, that people with a lack of the specific enzyme suffer from genetical defects, so that their body cannot produce the enzyme. What never follows is a guess, that natural living enzymes from raw foods may be the needed supply. I always wonder if this could be true. If genetical defects are the real cause for the unability to produce enzymes, I wonder, why we humans seem to be more and more genetically "defective". Evolution should have deleted such defective material. Of course, if my guess were correct, nobody would profit from such an explanation. The normal procedure is to try to manufacture the sub- stances, people are unable to produce. A profitable deal. But simply getting the stuff from raw food? No way. No profit - no interest.
