Enzyme supplementation is recommended for anyone who consumes a cooked food diet or in the aid of other health conditions. The old axiom, “you are what you eat” is only partially right. More correctly stated, “you are what you eat, digest, absorb and are able to utilize.”

Natures plan calls for food enzymes to help with digestion instead of forcing the body’s digestive enzymes to carry the whole load. If the human organism must devote a huge portion of its enzyme potential to making digestive enzymes, it spells trouble for the whole body because it drains the pool of enzyme machinery needed to make the metabolic enzymes.

Eating enzyme-less foods contribute to obesity and weight gain. Raw calories are relatively non-stimulating to glands and tend to stabilize weight. Cooked calories excite glands and tend to be fattening. Calorie indexes, and science, make no distinction between the amount of raw and cooked calories. As a general rule, cooked foods are much more fattening than raw foods, even of the same type (i.e. raw vs. cooked bananas).
