Re: Fun egg facts
"IF we are healthy and not constantly draining our bodies of reserves, then yes. But if we constantly eat the standard american diet of cooked foods, then no."
Our bodies produce, under genetic control through translation and transcription processes, the proteins, enzymes, needed for digestion. There is no utilization or need for enzymes, proteins, found in food for the digestive process. Can you provide a specific example where this is not so?
"The body was meant to get enzymes and acids from within foods."
Not true!
" Enzymes were supposed to be used mainly for repair, not just digestion. if we use them for digestion all the time, we age."
There are many many enzymes found in the body each with its specific function. Digestive enzymes are produced for the purpose of breaking down the food we eat into absorbable constituents. Soem enzymes are for repair, some for detoxification, some for phosphorylation, some for energy production, some for glyconeogenisis, ect ect. Our genetic code has the formula for all these enzymes and produces them ona ongoing basis through the production and translation of mRNA. Not all enzymes are used for digestion only a select few are produced for this purpose. Each enzyme has its own specific use and function and they are not interchangable.
