Guest guest Posted May 7, 2001 Report Share Posted May 7, 2001 Hello and apologies for combining two threads: Recent question and answer about vitamins referred to a webpage (I have since deleted) that listed Vitamin B12 with only animal sources. Tempeh is well known as one of the few vegan sources of this essential vitamin. [Tempeh is in health food stores, or homemade via gemcult] Regarding amino acids, please click to read vegsource.com, and from soyinfo.com... " Legumes are excellent sources of protein. Many legumes contain nearly as much protein as found in tofu. But as mentioned in the Benefits of Soy web page, legume protein is slightly deficient in two amino acids. It is often recommended to eat a grain dish at the same meal in order to get a better balance of essential amino acids. " And of course the high fiber of a vegan helps eliminate heavy metals from the system [i hope!] Thanks, Zack Auctions - buy the things you want at great prices http://auctions./ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
