Does the addition of raw food to the diet or juicing guarantee enough enzymes to meet our needs?
Raw foods and Digestive Enzymes 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, and eggs. Also, the fiber content normally found in raw food (cellulose) is very difficult to digest due to the body’s inability to produce cellulase (the enzyme that digests cellulose). Tree nuts, seeds, beans, and grains contain enzyme inhibitors, along with a very active number of enzymes. But because enzymes are very active entities, nature had to put a rein on them and make them dormant until such a time as the seed could fall to the ground and is adequately covered with soil. This slowing down by nature could be called enzyme inhibition. However, nature will inactivate these enzyme inhibitors when the seed is covered with soil and absorbs moisture. This is the time the seed begins germinating (sprouting
