FDA and their silliness used to recommend 60 grams. NASA limits astronauts to 15 or 20 for optimal health. What does that tell you? NASA says that any more creates nasty by products?????

It's undeniable proof that humans should not be eating animal based protein. Anyone who doubts the vegetarian/vegan diet should read The China Study.

It enrages me that people are so ignorant on nutrition. The only thing I don't like about vegetarian or vegan sources of protein is that they always come with such an overdose of carbohydrates. I generally have them for lunch, but stick to meat or fish for my protein after 6pm.

I too have enjoyed breaking down how easy it can be for vegetarians and vegans to get enough protein today. Quinua is quickly becoming one of the most popular grains in health food stores.

You know what the medical definition of the 'lack of protein' is? There isn't one. No one dies (or get's sick) from a lack of protein. It just doesn't happen. Humans experience their most rapid body growth as infants. A mothers breast milk supplies the perfect nutrient for this period of life. Human breast milk is about 12% protein. You know the medical terms associated with too much protein and too much fat? Cancer, Thrombosis, Adult Onset Diabetes, Stint, ED, ... And what's with 'vegetarians'?? Why bother?? Milk is bad for the environment, horrible for animals, and the worst possible thing you can ingest. It's like smoking light cigarettes and saying you're not really a smoker. 10% fat / 15% vegetable proteins / 75% long chain carbohydrates. 100% vegan. Protein?

I'm no registered dietitian, but all the research I've done leads me to believe you can be a very healthy vegan without soy. In fact, I've dramatically decreased my soy intake recently, just because I wanted to push myself towards more variety and away from processed soy products. I also have a high risk for developing breast cancer, since both of my grandmothers had it. Eating raw foods is a great way to naturally decrease your risk. Here's an interesting link: http://www.rawfoodlife.com/Articles___Research/Raw_Food___Cancer/raw_food___cancer.htm. And if you Google breast cancer and raw food, you'll find many more links on the subject. Soy is a great source of protein, but there are plenty of other plant protein sources, as you can see, which work just as well as soy. Soy is not a necessity. And if you want a milk other than soymilk, there are plenty of other milks out there, such as almond, oat, hemp, hazlenut, rice, etc. Try some of those out and see what tickles your fancy.
