Any thoughts on food combining !!!!

[MaDmaN]

Anybody have any thoughts pro or con if seperating starches and protiens is helpful..

Our digestive system can be thought of as a chemical processing plant. It has to break down into their useful component parts a variety of different 'feedstocks' each requiring a different process. The processes are often conflicting:

• an alkali environment / an acid environment

• a dose of enzyme A / a dose of enzyme B

• pre-treatment in the stomach / immediate treatment in the small intestine

Sounds like a load of crap to me. Many fruits have enzymes that assist in protein digestion.

^^^I agree. I read about it years ago, and even then I was like "are you serious?!" Since everyone responds to things differently, from an individual standpoint, it might make one FEEL better, but it's definitely NOT necessary.
