The immune sensors in MALT trigger responses such as nausea, vomiting, pain, and swelling. Vomiting and diarrheas are abrupt defensive responses to MALT-sensing foods with a strong allergic or toxic component. This kind of food intolerance is responsible for many digestive problems. When the contractions are slow and irregular, constipation may occur. In all but a few cases, a food allergy is the primary cause of gastrointestinal tract problems.
Chronic diseases have their origin in food allergies.

Human saliva contains alpha-amylase, an enzyme specifically designed to break down complex carbohydrates into sugar compounds. Our teeth are designed to cut vegetable matter and to grind grains.
