See book keywords and concepts | | As the stomach becomes more acidic while digesting protein, starch digestion comes to an end. We may say those conditions which are optimum for protein digestion, exclude starch digestion. Worse, the introduction of the starch almost neutralizes the acid, thus deactivating the enzymes and creating the climate for putrefaction and fermentation. Non-starchy vegetables make for the best combinations with proteins. Refer to the food chart on the following page.

See book keywords and concepts |  Rosenthal and Ziegler found that when 50 grams of raw starch was administered to patients their blood sugar rose only 1 mg and then decreased, but when the starch was cooked, there was a dramatic increase of 56 mg in one-half hour, 51 mg in 1 hour, and 11 mg in 2 hours after the meal. Researchers also gave raw starch to diabetics to whom no insulin had been given for several days. Average increase in blood sugar in these diabetics from eating the raw starch was just 6 mg in one-half hour, then a decrease of 9 mg in 1 hour, and a decrease of 14 mg in 2.5 hours after the raw starch meal. |

Average increase in blood sugar in these diabetics from eating the raw starch was just 6 mg in one-half hour, then a decrease of 9 mg in 1 hour, and a decrease of 14 mg in 2.5 hours after the raw starch meal.117 This significant difference in raw versus cooked foods in terms of blood sugar regulation implies that the enzymes in the raw starch might be important. Also, heating activates the breakdown of complex carbohydrates to simple sugars more rapidly, thus raising the glycemic index of the food. |

Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George
See book keywords and concepts |  Virchow described the reaction of the seemingly abnormal extracellular material with iodine and sulfuric acid, which, at the time, was a marker for starch; and thus, he applied the term amyloid, which is derived from the Greek word amylon, meaning "starch." Virchow's mislabeling of amyloid as a starch persisted until the 1980s when the American researcher George Glenner identified the molecular structure of amyloid as a protein and proposed its relation to Alzheimer's disease. Despite Virchow's error, his contributions to medicine and public health are formidable. |

Starchy vegetables (Potatoes, corn, carrots, etc.) 1V2-2 hours
Light starch (Grains, flours, etc.) 2-3 hours
Proteins (Vegetable: nuts, seeds) 3-4 hours
Proteins (Animal: meat, fish) 4? hours
Improperly combined foods can take as much as eight hours to leave the stomach and pass, in various degrees of fermentation, into the small intestine. The small intestine then has difficulty absorbing the required nutrients, because each step in the digestive process depends on the completeness and efficiency of the step before. |

See book keywords and concepts |  The foods highest in fiber are usually those that have little starch and sugar, so there's a double benefit from eating them.
Examples: High-fiber nonstarchy vegetables include most fresh salad ingredients, such as dark lettuces (Romaine, bibb), spinach, arugula, tomatoes, cucumbers, mushrooms, red bell peppers, and onions. Other high-fiber nonstarchy vegetables include asparagus, broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, green beans, kale, leeks, and shallots, all of which can be prepared in a variety of ways. Fresh is better than frozen, and both fresh and frozen vegetables are far superior to canned. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Fat-free salad dressings contain modified starch as a fat substitute. Principally being very dry by nature, starch (mostly cornstarch) is treated with hydrochloric acid and enzymes derived from mold. The end product leaves you with the feeling of cream in the mouth. The same can be achieved by using cheap protein and other carbohydrates. The products have fancy names such as "Trailblazer," and Nutrifat PC and have already been on the U.S. market for several years.
"Olestra" is the name of a pseudo-fat that has been approved for sale on the U.S. market to fill the gap for zero-cholesterol fat. |

Wheat: This ingredient is found in many pet foods, and again, AAFCO gives several terms for wheat products. Wheat flour: This consists principally of wheat flour together with fine particles of wheat bran, wheat germ, and the offal from the "tail of the mill. |
Michael T. Murray and Michael R. Lyon
See book keywords and concepts |  Avoid large amounts or big portions of root vegetables, such as potatoes, parsnips, and squash, since these contain more starch and more calories.
Go for low-glycemic index foods
Choose fruit and starches that will not cause your blood sugar level to spike, and will take longer to digest and be absorbed in the bloodstream. These low GI foods will give your body better blood sugar control and sustained energy.
(continued on next pane)
Aim for balance
When creating a balanced meal, include three or four food groups. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Saliva, which is high in ptyalin, is secreted by the salivary glands and reduces starch to maltose, which in turn is reduced in the intestines to dextrose. Ptyalin will not activate in a mildly acidic or strong alkaline environment. The acid in regular vinegar, grapefruit, lemons, or other sour fruits will completely stop the action of ptyalin, resulting in a poorly digested meal. These meals will likely ferment, producing toxic byproducts as well as decreasing the nutritional value. Basically you shouldn't mix acids and starches during meals. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Potatoes: When Oxford University scientists attempted to suppress a potato enzyme, the starch content increased substantially. Plant scientist Chris Leaver said, "We were as surprised as anyone. . . . Nothing in our current understanding of the metabolic pathways of plants would have suggested that our enzyme would have such a profound influence on starch production."117 In other potatoes inserted with a soybean gene (glycinin), some vitamins were reduced and dangerous toxins (solanine and chaconine) increased. |
Michael T. Murray and Michael R. Lyon
See book keywords and concepts | | Complex carbohydrates include starch and other, larger carbohydrate molecules.
When high sugar, or low fiber, starchy foods are eaten in excess, blood sugar levels rise quickly, producing a strain on blood sugar control. The body responds to the rise in blood glucose levels after meals by secreting insulin, a hormone produced by the beta cells of the pancreas (a small gland that resides at the base of the stomach). Insulin lowers blood glucose by increasing the rate that glucose is taken up by cells throughout the body. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Basically, vinegar is a natural starch and sugar blocker. When these enzymes are blocked, sugars and starches pass through the digestive tract in much the way that indigestible fiber does. You can use vinegar in a quick homemade salad dressing. See chapter 5 for the recipe.
Psychological Tips
Mood swings related to fluctuating blood sugar levels are largely biological, not psychological, in nature. It helps to be tuned in to the early signs of hunger, fatigue, and deteriorating moods, however, so that you can sidestep a crash in your moods or behavior. |
Tom Bohager
See book keywords and concepts |  DU of amylase can break down 100 grams of potato starch in one hour. The starch found in a carrot would be different. þ1,000 FCCFIP of lipase can break down 5 grams of vegetable oil in one minute. The fat found in beef or an avocado would be different.
A WORD ABOUT VALUE
When determining value you will no doubt try to compare enzyme supplement labels. Chances are the only useful information you will find will be the active units listed. Because the blending of enzymes is so critical to potency, you cannot assume that the higher the active units, the better the value. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Green bananas are an excellent source of resistant starch, which tends to be digested slower, thus not causing blood glucose to surge. Resistant starch may reduce the risk of many different types of cancer, especially colon cancer. Red bananas contain more vitamin C, beta-, and alpha-carotene than yellow bananas do. They are an excellent source of potassium, supplying about 300 to 400 milligrams per medium banana. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends eating foods rich in potassium and low in sodium, which may help reduce the risk of high blood pressure and stroke. |

See book keywords and concepts |  If you chew a piece of bread or other starchy food long enough, you'll notice a sweet taste when the starch is turned into sugar by the amylase. Next, the food is swallowed; that is, it travels down the throat and the esophagus, a tube that connects the throat to the stomach. A series of wave-like contractions keeps the food moving down to the stomach.
In the stomach, powerful muscles churn the food, breaking it into smaller and smaller pieces and mixing it with gastric juices produced by the glands lining the stomach. |
