Would somebody correct me if I misremember the basic biology courses I had in the '60's. (I do remember the '60's which probably means I did not experience them properly, but that is another subject)

As far as I know, enzymes are proteins. The digestive system uses HCl, and special enzymes to break them up into very small segments, and mostly their smallest segments: the amino acids. It is only these amino acids or small segments that are small enough to be absorbed from a healthy gut. For this reason, cooking which changes the coiling of enzymes and thus inactivates them, does not in and of itself make the protean non nutritious.

Certain vitamins are a different story. I don't argue with those who supplement vitamins if lots of processed food is eaten.
