Chicken contains a relatively high amount of methionine when compared to other foods. Methionine is an amino acid containing sulphur as its center atom. http://health.notmilk/message/1923 Methionine converts to homocysteine in the human body. Homocysteine has been called a key factor in the etiology of heart disease. Similar observations regarding methionine and homocysteine have been applied to bone disease. The sulphur in chicken creates an acid condition in human blood. The acid must be neutralized and it is

as the body draws calcium from its own bones in order to do so. One of my readers took exception with that column and suggested that methionine is necessary for human function. I agree. She brought up the very good point that apples, pineapples, and cabbage contain methionine as do other foods. I not only agreed with that, I took it upon myself to do an analysis of various foods for their methionine content. Chicken is delicious. You'll get no debate from me regarding that matter. Perhaps what gives chicken so much incredible flavor is the presense of this sulphur-containing amino acid in chicken protein. It may taste good coming into the mouth, but it creates horrible odors within the body and on the way out. I can smell the sulphur on the breath of a chicken eater. I can detect the offensive odor as I get close to chicken eaters. Chicken is harmful to human health. Eating chicken shows no compassion to the

life of a bird, and even less compassion to one's body. After researching the level of methionine in various foods, I am even more convinced of the damage chicken causes. Here are the results for 100-gram portions (3 1/2 ounces) of apples and chicken. One portion of apples contains 0.001 grams of methionine. One portion of chicken contains 0.855 grams of methionine. Would you prefer to have the essence of rotten sulphur coursing through your blood and distributed to every cell of your body? One portion of chicken contains 855 times the amount of methionine as does an equal portion of apples. Compare Various Foods: Apples contain 0.001 grams of methionine. Pineapple contains 0.012 grams of methionine. Cabbage contains 0.014 grams of methionine. Soft silken tofu contains 0.074 grams of methionine. Hard boiled eggs contain 0.392 grams of methionine. Cheddar cheese contains 0.652 grams of methionine.

Parmesan cheese contains 0.958 grams of methionine. Physically and spiritually, are you a rotten-smelling rancid cheesehead, or perhaps the essence of fresh-pressed cider from fragrant apples? Don't be a wine-sap by continuing to eat animal protein. Give up the chicken and you'll be golden delicious! Robert Cohen http://www.notmilk.com

Thanks for the article Elaine I like Robert's approach in writing and

willingness to investigate. " There is a principal that will always suceed to

keep us in everlasting ingnorance. That is contempt prior to investigation " .
