I learned recently why eating lots of raw nuts has sometimes given me a stomachache. They contain enzyme inhibitors that prevent their digestion. I would think that would apply to the almond milk if uncooked.
Nancy http://www.westonaprice.org/nutrition_greats/howell.html Grains, nuts, legumes and seeds are rich in enzymes, as well as other nutrients, but they also contain enzyme inhibitors. Unless deactivated, these enzyme inhibitors can put an even greater strain on the digestive system than cooked foods. Sprouting, soaking in warm acidic water, sour leavening, culturing and fermenting-all processes used in traditional societies-deactivate enzyme inhibitors, thus making nutrients in grains, nuts and seeds more readily available. -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
