Karlin,
EZ is long gone. You are about 6 months too late dude. And he may not have been a plant, but he was most definitely a troll.
A little knowledge is dangerous. Our friend EZ made the claim that all proteins are broken down into their constituent amino acids in the stomach. I have since found out that this is not true. Most (80%) protein is absorbed in the form of peptides - chains of amino acids. So his argument that enzymes (which are a form of protein) are destroyed in the stomach is not true. Proteins can and do survive the stomach.
