I've heard this so many times! I doubt it very much

that we have a fixed amount of digestive enzymes and

by eating cooked foods we can deplete our body's

supply. It seems to me that statements like that are

based on not much more than faith.

I'm sure we don't start life with a finite amount of enzymes, or an ability

to produce a finite amount of enzymes, but requiring the body to produce

more enzymes than it evolved to produce is likely to wear out the pancreas

faster than would normally happen.

That makes sense to me.
