Virtually all chronic degenerative diseases are caused or aggravated by digestive problems.
Enzymes are delicate dynamos.
They are specialized proteins, often with long complicated names ending in -ase. Lipase is synthesized principally in the liver and protease comes from the pancreas. Dr. Francis M. Pottenger's nutritional studies have shown that a regular diet of cooked or canned foods causes the development of chronic degenerative diseases and premature mortality. Professor Jackson of the Dept. of Anatomy, University of Minnesota, has shown that rats fed for 135 days on an 80 percent cooked food diet resulted in an increase pancreatic weight of 20 to 30 percent. What this means is that the pancreas is forced to work harder with a cooked food diet.
