Contact Reading this page signifies your understanding of my disclaimer . The Necessity of Proper Food Combining By Dr. Herbert M. Shelton Reprinted from Dr. Shelton's Hygienic Review T he human stomach is a site of constant chemical activity.
Digestion is largely a matter of chemical changes in the food eaten.
These changes are instigated and carried out by enzymes secreted in the mouth, stomach and elsewhere. For their activities, these enzymes require suitable media. All of this makes it important that we exercise some care not to take into the stomach at the same time foods requiring different and incompatible media. Whether ignorant or dishonest, such an individual should not pose as an authority in the field of human nutrition and presume to advise millions about proper eating. Therefore, if acids are taken with starches, starch digestion is suspended.
