The Food Enzymes for Health & Longevity

This is a truly great book about real food and the advantages of raw foods. It's easily written and loaded with information.

Unfortunately, these amazing books are not the easiest to find. I believe this is another book in my list of the most important books of today. Two others I believe in are Natural Cures by Kevin Trudeau and Why Stomach Acid Is Good For You. These books changed my family, literally. If you care about yourself, you owe it to yourself to read these books.

This book takes the view that the human body is totally dependant on Enzymes for health and longevity. Whilst not rejecting orthodox nutritional principles it concludes that the body utilises food enzymes for digestion and converts spare enzymes for the 1001 other metabolic processes our body undergoes each day. Dr Howell establishes through copious(!) references tot he literature that our body has a limited capacity to store and produce enzymes and that cooking food effectively destroys the enzyme content of foods. He reaches the conclusion that the Western Diet of cooked and processed food substains us for only so long and begins to poison us from a fairly early age. Being a non-medical person I couldn't challenge any part of this book and would recommend it unreservedly to anyone looking to research the area of natural nutritition and medicine.
