Guest guest Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Which of us has never been asked, " But where do you get your protien? " The following link http://www.thefruitpages.com/sugar.shtml addresses that quite well. Proteins consist of amino acids and our body uses 20 different amino-acids. There are 8 amino-acids that our body cannot produce itself. They are called the essential amino-acids and our bodies have to obtain them through nutrition. There are many fruits and vegetables that contain all of the eight essential amino acids in the single fruit or veg. This means that it's not necessary to consume animal products to obtain the proteins that contain the essential amino acids our body needs. The following fruits and vegetables contain all 8 essential amino acids: -Fruits: Bananas, Tomatoes, Cucumbers. -Vegetables: Potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots (also good for the memory), corn, Cabbage, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, okra, peas, summer squash and Kale.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Interesting protein fact - our bodies manufacture roughly 40,000 different proteins, and each cell manufactures about 5,000. Too bad that part gets left out of the mainstream when it comes to information about protein...most people think it's just one thing. Perhpas if they had the full story, that question would go away Bridgitte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 wow that's a good one. do you have a reference for that fact?

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Proteins are broken down into amino acids regardless of where we get the protein from, meat simply being the least efficient and least humane way to get amino acids (from the protein).

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 That's part of it...amino acids are the building blocks of protein. So if you're getting protein from animal products, you break that protein down into amino acids, then use those amino acids to build the proteins that the body needs. When you're getting amino acids from plant sources, you skip that whole breaking down step and use the energy for other functions.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 " Guide to Body Chemistry & Nutrition " by Dr. Bernard Jensen. I misquoted - the body makes over 50,000 proteins.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 This is a nice web you provide. I heard that soya bean(or tofu) contains a lot of protien. Would you also recommend it as well?? Allan rawfood , <beefree@g...> wrote: > > Which of us has never been asked, > " But where do you get your protien?
