Acid
and protein
"Since protein requires an acid medium for
proper digestion, you'd think that acid foods would facilitate protein digestion, but
that's not the case.
When acid foods enter the stomach they
inhibit the secretion of hydrochloric acid, and the protein-digesting enzyme pepsin can
work only in the presence of hydrochloric acid, not just any acid.
Therefore orange juice inhibits the proper
digestion of eggs, and a strong vinegar dressing on salads inhibits the digestion of
steak."
