Doctor's Note
Do Vegetarians Get Enough Protein? is the video in which I cover protein quantity.
Plant Protein [is] Preferable not just because food is a package deal, but because of less aging enzyme activation (Caloric Restriction vs. Animal Protein Restriction), less sulphur containing amino acids (Bowel Wars: Hydrogen Sulfide vs. Butyrate) such as methionine (Methionine Restriction as a Life Extension Strategy), lower acid-forming capacity in the kidneys (Protein Source: An Acid Test for Kidney Function), less putrefaction in the colon (Putrefying Protein and “Toxifying” Enzymes) and no inflammatory response (Which Type of Protein is Better for Our Kidneys?). Plant protein also doesn’t have the same effect on the cancer promoting growth hormone IGF-1 that I discuss in the cancer section of my Food as Medicine presentation.
