Part 5: The Misleading Information about Enzymes, Lecithin, Citric Acid, and Diet Candies

Amylase breaks down the starch in rice into maltose, which is then consumed as food.
Once food reaches the stomach, gastric enzymes (i.e., pepsin) are produced to assist in digestion.
It helps break down proteins in meat; the small intestine also contains intestinal proteases and lipids.
Enzymes and other substances help digest and absorb food, converting it into energy for the body.

Our bodies are able to digest, absorb, and provide nutrients normally.
All cells rely on enzymes, which is why some people say that there is no life without enzymes.
