Most people don't understand just how important enzymes are... in fact most people don't even know what enzymes are! They are protein molecules that break down our foods. Without them, we don't digest what we eat.

Loomis goes through a lot of detail to explain just how important enzymes are to our body's functioning. I will admit he seemed to go off topic or maybe he broadened his range a little too far, but never the less the book is very informative! Plus, enzymes do have a lot of effect on our body, so it is understandable to have a book very broadened.

Received this book in a very timely manner. Book was in excellent condition. Thanks! Lynda

This is an excelent book for people with little or no chemistry for understanding the basic enzyme functions and how they relate to our health. I was really impressed with the amount of information and easy to understand diagrams in this book

The book shares on the importance of enzymes in the body and the important role it plays in the digestion of the food we eat.

The authors of this book knew quite well that 192 pages are not that many. So, they went into the fundamental analysis of enzymes without wasting time.
This handbook will suit anybody whose preoccupations include offering or receiving nutritional advice. It clearly outlined and defined the basic principles of enzymology: focussing on both their nature and their clinical applications. Without delving into the complex kinetics aasociated with catalytic reactions, "Enzymes: The Key to Health" did shed light on the biochemical and physiological pathways connected with each enzyme it discussed.
It also did a good job in describing the multicomponent forms of these globular proteins. The same could be said concerning the way it classified each enzyme group.
This is an interesting book to read, if you want to get a good understanding of enzymology with little or no biochemistry hassles. It was written in such a way that non-scientists could understand. It provides a steady flow of simplified enzymology gists.
