Health PROTEIN 1. Where do you get your protein from? A simpler question would be: where dont you get your protein from? All foods contain protein. In your supermarket, try finding food labels that show nil protein. Youve asked the most common question fielded by vegetarians over the years. Promotion of meat protein has been very successful in establishing the beliefs that only protein gives energy and protein equals meat. Both are myths. We need protein, but not for energy, and ample protein is available from a multitude of sources besides meat. Its plentiful in wholemeal bread, beans, corn, lentils, peas, chick peas, oatmeal, broccoli, tofu and nuts. Vegetarians who excelled in demanding activities, achieving status that would be unlikely if protein were the only provider of energy and they were protein deficient, include six-times world ironman champion Dave Scott, running great Edwin Moses (undefeated in 122 consecutive races), Death Valley ultra-marathon champion Scott Jurek and first woman to walk to the north pole, Nicky Cole. Lets improve your question. Where do we find protein that both promotes health and reduces heart disease, cancer, food poisoning and other risk? The worlds largest, most comprehensive study of nutrition found protein from animal sources, even at low intake levels, is associated with disease. The safe proteins, at all levels, are from plants. So instead of Where do you get your protein from? can I please ask: Where do you get your cancer from? Where do you get your heart disease from? and Where do you get your diabetes from?
