Quote:I imagine any lipase that made it that far would either be further broken down, or excreted back out in the bile. It would never make it to the fat cells in the belly. Fat cells in the belly use lipase to break down fat stores... but that lipase needs to be manufactured inside the cell.LIPASE and the FAT METABOLISM
Enzymes are expressed from the inside out, not the outside in.
Internal lipase deficiency may develop when more lipase is needed for fat digestion and absorption than can be produced in the pancreas. Then lipase is taken from the internal lipase store to prop up the pancreas. Actually, lipase is recycled similar to bile. For the purpose of fat digestion bile and lipase are released, but unused amounts of each are reabsorbed in the lower parts of the small intestines, and re-supplied to the liver and pancreas through the blood and lymph circulation. Internal lipase deficiency arises when we habitually eat food low in lipase. Then the body has difficulties reabsorbing and generating enough lipase as we get older, and we develop age-related degenerative body changes.

The problem is this: the less fat there is in a meal, the faster it is released from the stomach into the small intestine. Unlike fats, carbohydrates are easily and rapidly absorbed. This can lead to damaging high blood sugar levels. To prevent this, the pancreas releases large amounts of insulin. This helps glucose to enter cells more quickly but if you are not doing hard work or exercise at the time, the excess glucose is either converted to lactic acid, thereby causing overacidity and mineral deficiency, or the glucose is converted to fat (mainly in the liver).
Fat is then stored in fat cells. When the blood sugar level drops, this stored fat can now be used to generate energy – but only if you have sufficient internal lipase. If lipase is deficient, fat remains in the fat cells and you feel hungry again, having another carbohydrate meal with a replay of the same story. After several years of repeating this cycle with habitually elevated blood sugar levels, diabetes may be diagnosed.
....................
Many fat-containing foods also supply lipase for proper digestion of the fat. However, enzymes are destroyed at 118 degrees F. Therefore, cooked foods typically don't supply the enzymes required for proper digestion
Fat is digested more efficiently when it is exposed to the lipase found in food. This is because the type of lipase in food works in an acidic environment like the stomach.
Quote:Yes, it can help to take digestive enzymes to help with the digestion of food if the body is not making its own... and yes some of these are already inside the cells of the foods themselves. And yes they are destroyed by heat and light.Your disclaimer stating that you are not actually refuting anything? Does it matter if it does not directly attack stored fat cells when the point is to stop storing fat? As far as I can tell, if it does not directly attack fat stores, it has the same effect indirectly.
