  4. Fish oil (Omega-3 intense) is a powerful anti-inflammatory agent. Just make sure it's truly been purified to rid it of toxic metals such as mercury, which is particularly lipophilic, as we have treated our oceans as giant industrial dumping grounds over the last century, and many predatory fish such as tuna and cod become heavily contaminated .

    As for cow's milk, most humans lack the ability to fully digest it as we lack the bacteria that cattle have in their gut that breaks down grass and other vegetation that cattle feed on.

    By the way, the healthiest people in the world, whether in Greece, Crete, the Arctic, or certain Asian areas have diets loaded with fats, even saturated ones.

    The French and Spanish have very high fat diets, yet a fraction of the incidence of heart and cardiovascular disease that Americans do.

    Red meats, whether beef, buffalo, elk, venison, etc., have essential amino acids that are difficult to obtain from other sources. This is the biggest obtacle true vegans have in obtaining all the nutrients that the human body needs to develop and maintain all proper cellular growth and function.

  5. You have smelled cow teats? How was it? Describe in detail. I know you can do it!

  6. no, you are grossly misinformed.

    what essential amino acids would that be?

    Plants contain ALL ESSENTIAL amino acids. Plants are a COMPLETE protein.

    A variety of plants eaten over a period of time supply all essential amino acids.

    Certainly there are a few nutrients that are difficult to obtain thru plants such as B12, Vit D. But overal PLANTS are are far more nutrient dense than animal sources and with far LESS harmful substances such as cholesterol and sat fats.

    One plant are not complete protein. You have to combine different plants and eat at the same time to make a complete protein. Different amino acids (combine) to make protein, so you need to eat them (together/same meal/same day) to get complete protein
    Animal products have complete protein. You can eat one egg, one peice of meat ...and have nothing else to eat/combine with that animal product, and you have all amino acids to make complete protein. You can not eat one plant and have complete protein. So if you eat many plants that have esencial amino acids, it does not make complete protein unless you eat them together/at same time. If one day you eat one plant, then next day another, then another day eat another plant so that you have all amino acids to make protein, it will not make protein because the amino acids have to work (together)(same time)(same day) to make protein.

    Essential Amino Acids

    Out of the many thousands of possible amino acids, humans require only 20 different kinds. Two others appear in the bodies of some animal species, and approximately 100 others can be found in plants. Considering the vast numbers of amino acids and possible combinations that exist in nature, the number of amino acids essential to life is extremely small. Yet of the 20 amino acids required by humans for making protein, only 12 can be produced within the body, whereas the other eight—isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine—must be obtained from the diet. (In addition, adults are capable of synthesizing arginine and histidine, but these amino acids are believed to be essential to growing children, meaning that children cannot produce them on their own.)

    A complete protein is one that contains all of the essential amino acids in quantities sufficient for growth and repair of body tissue. Most proteins from animal sources, gelatin being the only exception, contain all the essential amino acids and are therefore considered complete proteins. On the other hand, many plant proteins do not contain all of the essential amino acids. For example, lysine is absent from corn, rice, and wheat, whereas corn also lacks tryptophan and rice lacks threonine. Soybeans are lacking in methionine. Vegans, or vegetarians who consume no animal proteins in their diets (i.e., no eggs, dairy products, or the like) are at risk of malnutrition, because they may fail to assimilate one or more essential amino acid.

  9. This link tells you the tomato has scored under 100. That means it is not (complete) protein source. Yes it has protein, but not complete. The link also tell you what food to (combine) with the tomato to make (complete) protein. All essential amino acids are in a tomato, but I guess not high enough to make a complete protein.
    What I am saying is animal products are excellent source for complete protein, no worry about right combination, because it is all there. Nothing wrong with vegetarian diet if you make an effort to educate about food combinations for complete protein. But it is dangerous diet if you do not understand plants and protein. And for children it is more important for their protein.
    Meat is good if you do not overeat.

  10. a complete protein has all amino acids present. all plants are complete proteins, so i defy you to prove otherwise.

    what do amino acids have to do with the OP's topic?
