Editorial Reviews:

Dr. Howell is often called the "father of food enzymes." During the '30's and'40's of this century, he did incredible research to prove that food enzymeswere an essential nutrient, and that cooking and processing of foods destroythem, thereby creating dramatic changes in our ability to digest food and remain healthy. This is a classic in the field.

Summary: Good Theory - Don't know if it works.
Comment: Well, I really like the book and the theory, but I've tried it for months and don't feel any different. I find that most things I like produce some sort of positive effect on me after trying them for awhile.
Problem with this theory is you might have to live your whole life to see if it is valid.
Anyway, I'm giving up the regimen.

Summary: Why "waste of time" is wrong...
Comment: The customer who wrote that critique panned the book, citing that it primarily was out of date and did not give good scientific evidence. However, this book is NOT Dr. Howell's "scientific" book. In the mid-40s he published a book filled with many hundreds of citations supporting his conclusions. THIS book is a popularization of his conclusions. I have read both, and can definitely say that this book is entertaining, enlightening, and still revolutionary in its implications for proper human nutrition.
The reviewer also objected to the idea that the pancreas has a finite capacity for enzyme production. Dr. Howell notes that the heart also has a finite capacity for beating cycles. This fact is generally accepted in the life sciences, so why the idea that the pancreas is similarly limited is so hard for that reviewer to accept is unclear.
I have seen nothing to disprove or discount Dr. Howell's conclusions. Indeed, I have been using his principles of enzyme supplementation in my own diet for over 16 years, and I can personally attest that he is RIGHT because one's body does indeed process food differently when there are plenty of enzymes available.

Summary: This book changed my life!
Comment: This one of my favorite books on enzymes. I am the author of two books on this topic and attribute my career to having read this book in 1997. Though this book is now a bit outdated it still offers valuable insights into the research of and practical application of enzymes as a therapy. It is also very helpful in addressing the real benefit of raw food diets and how they contribute to a longer, healthier life.
This is a must read for anyone interested in enzymes!

Summary: Ed Howell = L. Ron Hubbard
Comment: As 'a reader' has pointed out, this book is comprised of wholly fallacious claims based on insane leaps of (il)logic. It is completely unscientific. Period.
Get on the internet and do your own legwork to discover how food enzymes have not been proven to do anything for our digestion, and how the concept of a 'metabolic pool' of enzyme precursors is simply wrong.
The burden of proof is on the theory proposed. As it is, there is none.
