Let's review what we have learned from these studies. We've learned that every time raw food was consumed, good things happened and every time cooked foods were consumed, bad things happened. Remember the Eskimos, they only ate raw fat and raw meat and they didn't have fresh fruits and vegetables available, yet, because there were live enzymes within the food they ate... they lived a long and healthy life. Most doctors will tell you "fat is not good for you" but, what they aren't telling you, is fat that is cooked or processed is in the wrong form for the human body. Form is what we are talking about, if the food we put into our mouth is in the correct form (which is the 40 - 60 ratio) our body can easily utilize the nutrients and easily get rid of the waste. But, if it's in the wrong form, it either isn't going to be utilized or its going to cause problems. If we have a vitamin, mineral or some type of deficiency... this could be the explanation, we put the nutrients in, but, the body didn't get to utilize them because they were in the wrong form. For example, a person with a calcium deficiency takes what's considered to be an excellent calcium supplement, but, the calcium isn't being used by the body because it's not in the correct form or not fully digested. If supplements don't have an adequate delivery system, there's a good chance they won't be properly broken down, absorbed and utilized at the cellular level, which means they can be useless... and this also holds true for carbohydrates, proteins and fats... if they're not fully digested, many bad things happen. In the intestinal track and colon undigested proteins putrefy, undigested carbohydrates ferment and undigested fats turn rancid which causes toxicity and these toxins can seep through the bowel wall, and get into the blood stream, which can lead to more health problems. If fat is not properly digested and broken down into fatty acids and glycerol, the body can store them as complex fats for future use and these undigested fats can also cause many cardiovascular problems. When we eat cooked and processed foods... the pituitary, thyroid and pancreas will all donate enzymes to help digest that food and this can slow our body's metabolism, and weight will probably be gained. Obese people have very low levels of lipase in their body and lipase brakes down fat. When digestion is bad, the body craves more energy and some people eat and eat to try to satisfy that hunger. The food they're eating isn't being fully broken down and digested and the nutrients within the food aren't being released and delivered to the cells to satisfy the hunger. |
