All of the enzymes present in raw foods are destroyed at temperatures as low as 118 degrees Fahrenheit. These enzymes, named "food enzymes" are important for optimum digestion. They naturally aid in digestion and become active as soon as eating commences. Cooking destroys 100% of these enzymes. Eating enzyme-dead food places a burden on the pancreas and other organs and overworks them, which eventually exhausts these organs. The digestion of cooked food usurps valuable metabolic enzymes in order to help digest the food. Digestion of cooked food is much more energetically demanding than the digestion of raw food. In general, raw food is so much more easily digested that it passes through the digestive tract in a half to a third of the time it takes for cooked food.

You do know humans have a finite amount of enzymes and we need to  replenish them, don't you? we inherit a certain enzyme potential at birth. BUT if we depend solely on our body to produce all the enzymes we need, our enzyme potential will be depleted at a much faster rate than nature intended. N'est pas? To fortify your enzyme potential, you must eat raw foods as much and often as possible failure to do so may result in serious illness or even early death.When we eat raw foods, heat and moisture in the mouth activate the enzymes in the food. Once active, these enzymes digest all of our food and make it small enough to pass through the villi (small pores of the intestines) and into the blood. The metabolic enzymes found in the blood then take the digested WHOPPING 45-known nutrients and build them into muscles, nerves, bones, blood, lungs, and various glands. Every cell in the body depends on certain enzymes. A protein digestive enzyme will not digest a fat; a fat enzyme will not digest a starch (carbohydrate). Each enzyme has a specific function in the body; this is referred to enzyme specificity. Nifty enzymes act upon chemicals and change them into other chemicals, but enzymes themselves remain unchanged. Simply put sunshine, our chemicals are changed from their original identify by the enzyme to other chemicals with a different identity. Without enzymes nothing in our sexybody would work.

It's still hard for me to realise that a 1000 calorie dish won't kill me. Too hard to make this carb-friendly transition =)
