Re: Not misleading at all!!

"We are talking about basic physiology on this topic and while all physiology text books describe the secretion of digestive enzymes and what triggers the secretion of these enzymes not a single one mentions this connection with food derived enzymes or how it works."

Why would a physiology textbook talk about food and nutrition? The very fact that these textbooks do not talk about the food being digested shows that they are not concerned with that issue which is the subject of NUTRITION, not physiology. If you want information on food enzymes you will have to find it in a NUTRITION textbook not a physiology textbook.

A physiology textbook will *by necessity* only concern itself with the human body and what is endogenous to the human body. If it started talking about all the different outside agents with which the human body interacts (e.g. viruses, bacteria - good and bad, fungi, vitamins, minerals, food enzymes) the textbook would no longer be on physiology.

If you continue to get your blinkered picture of digestion from a physiology textbook you will continue to be misinformed and to misinform others.
