I read recently that our bodies have two kinds of enzymes, one for digestion and the other is for other body processes. Are their really different specific enzymes that are different for digestion then for lets say...healing? And if so, when we eat raw are we just eating the enzymes that aid in digestion? Are they interchangeable?

Because I thought that all enzymes can act as a catalist for several processes in the body (including digestion). I didn't think there were two types.

I was also wondering at what point are the vitamins killed in food?
I know that enzymes can't survive anything over 118 (at least that's what I've read). But at what point in the process are the vitamins destroyed as well.

And finally, I read also that if the soil that the raw foods are only as good as the soil that they are grown in. Even if the soil does not contain pesticides--if it is lacking in other rich nutrients then it won't help to eat food produced from it. Is this true?

Can anyone here help me sort out this info?

Thanks.
