Enzyme Questions and Answers

Q47-Does the addition of raw food to the diet or juicing guarantee enough enzymes to meet our needs?

Raw food provides only enough enzymes to digest that particular food.  There are no extra enzymes in raw food to digest cooked or processed food.  Due to the risk of bacterial contamination many foods should not be eaten raw, including meats, poultry, eggs and beans.  Also, the fiber content normally found in raw food is very difficult to digest.
