There is too much to keep up with here, but the depth of discussion and the balancing of views is always inviting to come back. Thanks all! I'm less concerned about the enzymic aspects than many other other aspects. Indeed less cooked food has always appealed to me and the slightest bit of pan browning always annoys me. Since wood oven cooking is my heat source in the winter, it is noticeable that even 150ºf or so (?) actually can cook even beans for me since these don't bother me in the least, (even without presoaking). Low heat all day seems to do it well which also explains how a huge part of humanity can cook beans at all. Anti inflammatory foods and spices are a high priority for me... Having a very large assortment of foods is also key, for me. Be ready before 'they' literally ban super foods or omega3 bearing foods (to boost profits and such). Amazing the sneaking legislation riding through as we thread along here.
