Sprouts and aspartic acid

[Guest guest]

I saw this post on another list and I do ahve permission by writter

to ask on this list... below is the post. Please lend me your

thoughts..

 

Hello anyone dealing with epilepsy,

 

I don't know how many people know about the connection between

having seizures and increased levels of apartic acid. I'm not a

doctor in nutrition however, I believe that all sprouts, if not

most, are high in aspartic acid. There are about five amino-acid

that I concentrate on to help me with my seizures but aspartic acid

is one that I try to limit. When kept in a healthy balance aspartic

acid is very benificial for neural and brain disorders however, in

people with epilepsy it has been found in increased levels. Does

anyone know what all or any sprout's amino acid profiles are,

especially it's level of aspartic acid in comparrison to glutamic

acid? I have found a few but only four different ones and read about

this problem also. I really want to become a raw-live-vegan but I

will need to cut back on eating to many sprouts. I think I had a

grand-mal seizure a few days ago while sleeping as I had/have all

the signs of doing so. This past week I've eaten a great deal of

sprouts, more than usual, and then a few days ago a seizure. I

guess I'll need to balance sprouts with other foods that are low in

aspartic acid and higher in glutamic acid. I still want to keep

sprouting. Thanks.
