Pshhhhhh!!! Not the vegans on this video and many other alike! What are you eating?

With all the advertising droning on and on about how we need protein and to get it from animals, I can understand how one might think it is true. Body builders you see at the gym sculpting away will tell you they don’t take steroids or growth hormones when in fact they do. It may not be on purpose but the meats and dairy they eat are induced with growth stimulants and hormones. Thumbs up to Europe because they refuse to buy American meat with the high levels of hormones in it.

Based on the US FDA’S standard, we should have .8-gms/kg of protein. The actual amount needed to maintain nitrogen balance, is only .3-.4 gms/kg body weight.

In the world there is more disease and death due to excess protein then there is due to lack of protein. Leafy greens are a superior source of protein and one can easily obtain a diet rich in protein by consuming more of these leafy greens.

For your information always keep in mind that excess protein increases calcium excretion (can increase risk for osteoporosis), increases risk for kidney stones and increases risk for kidney disease.

So, where can protein be found in a Raw Vegan Diet?
