Plant vs. Animal Proteins

Nutrition Facts with Dr. Greger

NOTE

The Myth of Incomplete Plant Proteins

All essential amino acids originate from plants and microbes, and all plant proteins have them./nThe only truly incomplete protein is gelatine, which is missing the menno acid tryptophan./nMost people on plant-based diets consume twice the average requirement for protein./nThe concept that plant protein is inferior to animal protein arose from studies on rats more than a century ago./nInfant rats don't grow as well on plants, but this doesn't mean we shouldn't breastfeed human babies.
