Re: On Digestive Enzymes

"Probiotics have more to do with intestinal flora, than “enzymes”; as usual ML has no idea what he is writing."

Are you sure... perhaps you should study the biological activity of probiotic microorganisms.

"Probiotics" are used in some cases to produce patented enzymes... are enzymes really necessary as a dietary supplement?

Two questions to get you started... Why would absorption of any nutrient be improved with an increase in good gut flora? And another; Why is digestion generally improved with the addition of probiotics?

Here is an additional hint... enzymes are catalysts...

You seem to have the pieces and understand them well. However, I think you tend to compartmentalize or separate the processes and do not understand their interactions one with the other. An example would be your separation of the carbon and nitrogen cycles into separate processes in another post. Just a cursory look at their cycles shows similarities in them. A better question would be, why wouldn't they interact? Recent studies over the last 10 years have shown glimpses into C/N cycle interactions and hints (direct reference dependent upon the readers comprehension and/or interpretation of results) have been available since before WWII in many scientific papers including those on protein metabolism. One cycle being thrown out of balance, such as the carbon cycle has an effect on the other (and it is not just the nitrogen cycle it affects).

Everything on this planet works and interacts... compartmentalization of single cycles or processes is where Science misleads, confuses and confounds.

These recent posts of yours are great springboards to understanding some of what ML is saying to those willing to do some digging. Tweet
