1. Myth about Proteins
The general belief that animal proteins are superior overplant proteins dates since 1914,
when two scientists Osborn and Mendel did an experiment on mice and found out that they
grew faster when they ate animal proteins. Later it was found that this idea of mice’s rapid
growth was true, but on the other hand they lived shorter and developed cancer or other
diseases. Nevertheless, our school children generation and doctors are deluded intobelieving
that meat, milk and eggs are essential as a source of proteins. Although this diet myth has
been disproved a long time ago, still there are no developments to inform the public, that
what we have been taught is false. The consequences of eating bad food can be seen in
today’s epidemic of many modern diseases, and it is easy to notice who is the winner and
who is the loser in this situation. Pyramid of nutrition that is being taught in schools is wrong.
A high protein diet is a big misconception that seriously endangers our health.
First of all, we as humans are not designed to eat meat, because meat in general is not
digested in our stomach but it’s decaying, causing a multiple diseases. Speaking about milk,
all the babies (animals and humans) drink milk until they grow teeth to chew food. We are
the only kind that takes milk and milk products even after we grow teeth, and that milk is
completely inappropriate for human consumption. Picturesque, cow’s milk is designed to
transform the calf into a cow with weight of half a ton. That is not the case with us, because
our protein needs are much lower. When we turn 3 years, our bodies are slowly starting to
reduce the production of enzymes that digest milk. We get proteins by digesting food, but our
organism also recycles proteins through decomposition of dead cells. Then they circulate
through the blood and lymphoma and are used when needed. It is not necessary to eat meat,
milk and eggs to get the proteins that we need. How do bulls and elephants get proteins?
Think about that, they have a lot of muscles. Strong bones don’t depend on calcium but on
the degree of body movement, that’s the same case with strong muscles, they don’t get
stronger with big amount of protein intake, but underthe effort they undergo. When muscles
are being exercised, and we put a lot of effort that breaks the muscles fiber, then they
upgrade and it comes to their increasing. Large doses of proteins during decomposition will
release toxic quantities of nitrogen in our blood, which will then accumulate in the muscles
and cause chronic fatigue. It is necessary to strengthen and improve your muscles, but never
exaggerate. For children’s growth it is recommended toincrease the daily dose of protein for
10 to 15 grams per day. Green leaves, nuts and seeds are very rich in protein. Dr Jaffe from
the University of California, Berkeley, has been investigating the effects on children and
adults from several different generation, whoweren’t taking animal products. While today’s
diets based on animal products contain up to 150 grams per day, Dr. Jaffe has given his
participants around 24 to 33 grams of protein per day. Not a single participant had a sign of

2. protein deficiency or any other nutrients. All were health and in excellent shape. Dr. Max
Rubner, director of the Institute of Hygiene, University of Berlin, after his extensive
researches, concluded that we need about 28 grams of protein per day because the man can
accumulate about 30 grams of protein daily. Everything above 30 grams goes into the liver
and is converted intoacid which binds with calcium from bones and is expelled through the
urine. If we eat a variety of fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds, we can easily meet our daily
need for proteins. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. There are two types:
essential and non-essential. It is not necessary to combine grains and beans in one meal to
enter all of the essential amino acids. Plants contain all the essential amino acids and our
body has the ability to accumulate them for several days for future usage. Also, there are
plenty fruits and vegetables that contain all the amino acids, such as: tomatoes, bananas,
dates, walnuts, almonds, sunflower seeds, cabbage, broccoli, carrots etc. So you should eat a
variety of fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds that will supply you with the essential and non-
essential amino acids as well as others nutrients that we need. Of course, you should eat
them raw, because amino acids are damaged when cooked.
