MYTH: A raw-food diet provides enzymes that are essential to healthy digestion.
TRUTH: Raw foods are unprocessed so there are no nutrient losses (as compared when processed/cooked). But the claim by some raw-food advocates that eating raw boosts digestion by preserving “vital” plant enzymes is not true. “Those enzymes are made for the survival of plants; for human health, they are not essential.”
