re: Switching to vegetarian diet

Excuse me for being indisposed

Tell me how you break down cellulose, the wall of plant cells. Indigestible to human consumption. LINK

quote:

---

Within the cell wall, cellulose microfibrils are embedded in a matrix consisting of proteins and two other types of polysaccharides: hemicelluloses and pectins (Figure 12.47).

LINK Nobody ever refutes that, nor talked about it. Whereas herbivore have total digestion of cellulose (still not acknowledging or avoiding this fact all together). Animal cells have a membrane which is fully digestible to humans allowing for full digestion of everything. Now, the digestion of animal cells may vary person to person, but the comparison between the different cell structures still remain true. It takes way more plants to try and reach the rda than meat already provides and can easily be digested, why hinder your health so much? I am talking about plant food, not powders nor supplements. Not every vegan even attempts to achieve that amino acid profile because they lack the knowledge.

So back on point on why you shouldn't be a vegan. Add the difficulty in sourcing all the amino acids, supplementing for B12 B12 v2, D3, which you do have trouble with and must supplement. Or worry about osteoporosis, and O3 to O6 ratios that I've linked before

Conclusion: Consumption of a meat-containing diet contributed to greater gains in fat-free mass and skeletal muscle mass with RT in older men than did an LOV diet.

Like lsu777 said, I'm the only one doing work defending my statements. You seem to be quite good on just blindly attacking with no proof to back it up. I'm done with this thread because no one has even attempted to answer my questions, likely because you have no answers.
