If you suffer with food allergies, celiac disease, gluten challenges or lactose intolerance, food
coloring may be part of the problem.
To minimize food intolerances, food must be completely broken down. Enzymes are important
for the body’s proper absorption and utilization of food. Over time, the body’s ability to make
certain enzymes reduces as part of the natural aging process. Many scientists now believe that
maintaining normal levels of key enzymes is important to maintaining overall health. Enzymes
are responsible for every activity of life. Digestive and metabolic are the two primary
classifications of enzymes within the body. Proteases (aids in digesting protein), amylases (aids
in digesting carbohydrates), and lipases (aids in digesting fats) are the three primary digestive
enzymes, which function as the biological catalyst to breaking down food. In today’s world of
processed and fast foods, the body must work harder to break down food and absorb the
nutrients. Poor eating habits, such as improper or inadequate chewing and eating on the run
contribute to reduced levels of digestive enzymes. In addition to a reduction in essential
enzymes, poor eating habits, some medications and illness deplete the body’s probiotics, which
are necessary for maintaining a healthy digestive tract and promoting a healthy immune
system.
Proteins are digested in the stomach and require enzymes and a pH of approximately 1-4. A
protein is hundreds of amino-acids long. Stomach acids break proteins into peptide chains
which are shorter chains of amino acids. The peptides are then released into the intestines and
can be broken down into individual amino acids. Any peptide or protein that is not completely
broken down into its simplest component, an amino acid, may lead to health challenges.
Proteins cannot be broken down in the intestines, however, peptides can. Unfortunately, a
German study published in 1986 showed that food colorings impede the action of Pepsin,
Trypsin and Amylase. Remember, Pepsin breaks down proteins into peptides in the stomach
and Trypsin breaks down the peptides into amino acids in the small intestines. Amylase breaks
down starches into simple sugar. In Gluten Sensitivities, the wheat protein Gluten is broken
down into subsequently smaller peptides called Gliadin and Glutelin. Peptides, not proteins are

broken down further within the intestinal tract. Celiac disease results from an inability of the
body to breakdown the resulting Gluten Peptides, Gliadin and Glutelin within the intestinal
tract. Remember, Trypsin and Pepsin are impeded by food colorings! Both Lactose Intolerance
and Gluten challenges are linked to the incomplete breakdown of milk/wheat proteins. Celiac
disease results from the inability to breakdown Gliadin and Glutelin and Lactose Intolerance
also results from an inability to breakdown the milk sugar Lactose. Could it be that food
colorings in our diet have contributed to gluten and lactose sensitivities by impeding the actions
of enzymes that breakdown the peptides that result from Milk and Gluten proteins?
So do we need to supplement with digestive enzymes? Consider this; if you look at our teeth,
they are much more like a Chimpanzee than a German Shephard. This means that our bodies
produce approximately 25% of the digestive enzymes needed for eating, the remaining 75%
was meant to come from food. Digestive enzymes naturally exist in fresh fruits and vegetables.
Therefore, if we eat a cheese omelet, we would also have as an example, fresh squeezed
orange juice along with melons and fresh strawberries to assist in the digestion of the omelet.
Ask yourself, does 75% of my plate contain fresh fruits and vegetables teaming with enzymes?
If not, then you need to supplement.
In my previous post, I shared that digestive enzymes need a specific pH in order to function
optimally. Unfortunately, due to digestive dysfunction in most of the population today,
intestinal pH has been compromised, hence the rise in food, lactose and wheat intolerances.
Supplemental enzymes that are of a plant base operate in a wider spectrum of pH ranges. One
digestive enzyme that I have found that operates in
an extremely large pH range is Isotonix Digestive
Enzymes with Probiotics. It is a great value at only
$31.95 for 99 doses and also comes in convenient
portable packages for when we are eating out. The
portable packs are only $21.95 for 40 doses, $0.30
to $0.50 for a meal lacking in enzymes will save
thousands in future medical costs since it will
insure the proper breakdown of proteins,
carbohydrates and fats. In my next post, I will
share how undigested food in the intestinal tract
participates in an excessive toxic load on the body, autoimmune disease and inflammation. The
aforementioned participate in many maladies to include autism, diabetes, arthritis, allergies
and accelerated aging. If you have followed Webinar Series #1, you understand why the
general populace must also supplement with probiotics.

What Makes Isotonix® Digestive Enzyme Formula with Probiotics Unique?
Isotonix Digestive Enzyme Formula with Probiotics is an isotonic-capable food supplement that
is made from a combination of DigeZyme®, a blend of amylase, protease, cellulase, lactase, and
lipase, and Lactospore®, the probiotic Lactobacillus sporogenes, and potassium, magnesium,
maltase and sucrase, designed to replenish essential digestive enzymes and probiotics,
contributing to good digestive health. Isotonix Digestive Enzyme Formula helps maintain
healthy cholesterol levels, promotes digestion and absorption of nutrients, supports a healthy
digestive tract, supports a healthy immune system and may help ease occasional stomach
upset. DigeZyme is a multi-enzyme complex consisting mainly of amylase (starch hydrolyzing
enzyme), protease (protein hydrolyzing enzyme) and lipase (fat hydrolyzing enzymes). In
addition to these, it also contains cellulase (that hydrolyzes cellulose) and lactase (that
hydrolyzes lactose). The enzymes in this complex are of microbial origin (fungal amylase, lipase,
lactase, cellulase; and a bacterial neutral protease). The product is, therefore, entirely of nonanimal origin. Lactospore, a preparation containing viable spores of L. sporogenes, has been
used in successful clinical trials in the management of gastrointestinal issues, mild lactose
intolerance and supporting healthy immune functions. Digestive enzymes:
