A carrot or an apple or a stalk of broccoli actually contains as much as half of the enzymes
you need to digest that same food! But nearly everything we eat is cooked and processed. It doesnt take much heat to destroy enzymes — around 120º Fahrenheit will do the job. Thats not very hot — its not far above your body temperature, and its roughly the temperature of the hot water that comes out of your tap. Nearly everything we drink is pasteurized — milk, orange juice, indeed all juices including that pomegranate stuff thats become so popular. The
rich, natural enzyme nutrients are probably gone. And you might not think of bread, crackers
and cereal as cooked, but they are.
Theyve been processed at temperatures that destroy their enzyme content. Its a wonder were as healthy as we are. And theres a reason. Our bodies produce their own enzymes, and so to some extent we can make up for whats missing in our diets. But theres a limit to what our bodies can do without help. We eventually wear ourselves out trying to provide what nature would give us for free if we let it.
