Re: Enzymes - the amazing facts.
garcia:
You seem to be confusing this forum with a physiology class. It is not. I don't *need* to describe anything. I've given you a quote from a well-known textbook on nutrition which itself quotes work from a nobel-prize winning biochemist contradicting your views on digestive enzymes. The "ball" is very much in your court.
EZ: The quote of a quote you provided does not describe the process whatsoever. In fact the author you are betting the farm on won the Noble prize for his work on nitrogen fixation in legumenous plants and how to better preserve green fodder for cattle consumption...hardly human digestion!!
> I am saying quite emphatically that the enzymes found in foods are not digestive enzymes and are not necessary and do not participate in the digestive process.
OK now we are getting somewhere.
EZ: Where are we getting?
garcia:
Basically the claim you are making contradicts the whole of nutritional science. In particular the reference I gave. The onus is on you to prove what you are saying since you are contradicting every book ever written on nutrition.
EZ: Since you state that what I am saying contradicts EVERY book written on nutrition then it should be a very easy task for you to provide me with the name of a textbook which describes the process in detail....please do so as you promised!!
