Amino Acids: Building Blocks of Proteins (WAS: How do I get enough protein?...raw meat...)

[Guest guest]

Hi Laura,

 

Well still a bit to learn, perhaps. You write:

___

I also learned something very interesting. People worry about eating protein

to get enough protein when in fact, protein does not make protein in the

body...amino acids make protein in the body (greens).

___

 

All proteins are made of amino acids. The number and sequencing of the

aminos defines the protein. Therefore, an infinite number of distinct

proteins could, theoretically be created. This is part of why industry is so

interested ... it's an endless playground, from their perspective.

 

So proteins exist in fruits and greens and nuts and seeds and animal milks

and flesh and stems and weeds and bugs and bacteria ... and everywhere we

find proteins, when we take them apart, we find amino acids linked in a

chain.

 

Now, the MIX of aminos, which are prevalent, and the length of the chains

.... these matter a lot!!! But to say that we can, at least in theory, get

aminos from plants and not from animals is false.

 

Hope this is clear!

This is true, there has never been a single recorded case of protein

deficiency in the U.S.

 

Big strong animals like cows, horses etc. get their protein from plants

firsthand.

 

I also learned something very interesting. People worry about eating protein

to get enough protein when in fact, protein does not make protein in the

body...amino acids make protein in the body (greens).
