How disappointing!!
I thought this was a forum to discuss how things work, facts (discussion of evidence required),
Science (again discussion of facts required) ,and myths (discussion of evidence needed to accpet or discount the premise). You all seem very intent on not discussing the issue of food derived enzymes. in fact you are trying every trick in the book to not discuss the original issue. Somehow my questions threaten your worldview otherwise I would presume that someone would respond with some pertinent information on the topic we started discussing.
I asked some very basic questions and received no replies. I asked for the original citation to the Nobel prize winners comments...none is forth coming...why is that? I thought you would want to use this forum to showcase and share yoru knowledge on the topic yet all that is provided has been "chewing food releases enzymes" nothing more. No links or citations to the original measurements that led to this theory combined with a staunch effort not to discuss a very real mechanism which must exist in order for the body to "know" that it doesn't need to produce enzymes. I haven't been able to find this supporting evidence and I had thought (mistakenly so) that forum members would have some working knowledge of this process so that they would be able to discuss this process intellegently...instead ad hominem and a desperate attempt to interagate me about my motives as well as censure me. This is jsut physiology guys and gals and if your not up to discussing it so be it!! Your silence on the issue speaks volumes!!
Oh yes Lapis, if you wish for me to answer your questions please meet my conditions....i.e. I won't pay for your responses on the food enzyme theory with my comments but I will answer your questions completely if we can complete the discussion on the food enzyme issue with civility and intellegent conversation. If you wish to live in paranoia that I am some type of plant that is fine with me also.
