Guest guest Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 Dear Sheila, How does papaya enzymes digest meat? I thought that the enzymes in fruits like papaya and pineapple are designed to digest their own fruit but can't digest proteins? I really don't know and haven't studied much on the subject. But HCl would definitely help digest protein. Don't certain enzymes digest certain foods and not others? Maybe the papaya increases production of HCl in the stomach and that's how it helps.
