I have just been looking up information on AGEs and there is a lot of interesting reports on research dealing with these complexes. Thanks for turning me on to this field of research.

I just ordered his books, but haven't received them yet. I understand he is the father of the "living enzymes" concept. I look forward to reading them.

According to several textbooks the pH in a lysosome is kept about 4.7. This would be the obvious pH as which the enzymes in lysosomes could operate. The textbook that I get that number from also says the stomach pH gets down to <1 to 2. However, other sources, such as wikipedia, say that the stomach pH is anywhere between 1 and 4. If the latter is true then there is a good chance that some of

By the way, if anyone else is interested, I have found an article that supports the idea that plant cells do have lytic organelles, i.e. lysosomes, which would contain the enzymes protease, nucleases etc. Here is the reference:
"Barley Aleurone Cells Contain Two Types of Vacuoles: Characterization of Lytic Organelles by Use of Fluorescent Probes." Sarah J. Swansona, Paul C. Bethkea,

Jono,
Do you know how the pH values of fruits are determined, and where I can find these values?
As far as proteases, nucleases, etc. I understand that all living cells have these types of enzymes in them for the process of breaking down unwanted particles in them. This is all part of the reguvination process that is used to help cells to grow, propagate, and even commit "cell suicide

Surely there are people here who research out what they believe to be true, or at least can guide me to places where I can find the information. Most of the material on this site and many others seems to be a little vague. I am just looking for more substantiated details.
And believe me, this is not the only place I am looking for answers. But I have found that the answers are rarely in only

I understand the cynical reaction to my question. I assure you I am not looking for any excuse not to eat raw...if that were the case I would just choose not to do it and "let bygones be bygones." However, I am very interested in truth and facts (however that is determined) to help promote stronger reason and reduce simple ignorance (mostly mine). I have been fed a lot of misinformation

I am new to this idea of Raw Foods and I am trying to find out more information on it. One of the things I was wondering is what are the living enzymes? Since enzymes are really just a type of protein do they have any specific names for these living enzymes? I have taken some courses in Health and it seems that most all dietary proteins have been discovered and named, but I am not sure which ones

Thank you for the advise. I will try that out. Sorry for using up the space on this list.

One of the main arguments for eating raw is that there are enzymes in the food that we eat that are "necessary" for proper digestion. According to the raw theory these enzymes are denatured when heated to a temperature above 116 degrees fahrenheit. Aren't these same enzymes also denatured in the stomach's acidic environment? The truth is that they are and therefore are no longer benefic

It appears that no one is able to tell me what "living enzymes" are. Is it really better to eat raw then?
