It"s important to note that there is no requirement at all for animal protein in the diet. There is plenty of protein in beans, grains and vegetables, as well as the concentrated protein in seitan ("wheat meat") and soy products, such as soymilk, tofu, tempeh and various meat substitutes, all of which are found in any natural food store or in the health-food section of grocery stores.
Decades ago, nutritionists thought that only meat provided "complete" protein - meaning all essential amino acids - while plant foods had to be carefully combined to provide all the necessary amino acids. The fact is, a varied plant-based diet provides complete protein without any special combining.
－－－－－－－－－－－引起我們重視的事情是，飲食中完全沒有必要加入動物性蛋白質(zhì)。在豆類、谷類、蔬菜和seitan的濃縮蛋白質(zhì)（
大麥做的肉)、大豆制品（豆奶、
豆腐、印尼豆豉及各種肉類替代品)中已含有足夠蛋白質(zhì)，這些食物都能在天然食品店或雜貨店的健康食品區(qū)找到。
幾十年前，營養(yǎng)學(xué)家認(rèn)為只有肉類才能提供“齊全”的蛋白質(zhì)，即提供所有必需的
氨基酸，而吃素食則要絞盡腦汁地進(jìn)行搭配才能提供人體所需的氨基酸。事實(shí)是各類豐富的素食食譜并不需要任何特別的搭配就能提供齊全的蛋白質(zhì)。
－－－－－－－－－－－我家吃素就不要考慮西醫(yī)所講的營養(yǎng)成分！
－－－－－－－－－－－seitan是面筋。下面有說怎么做面筋。我平時做面筋就用此法-先和成面團(tuán)再用水洗。我在健康食品店里見到有賣wheat gluten的，有時間買來試驗(yàn)一下。
Wheat gluten, also called seitan (pronounced SAY-tahn), wheat meat, wheat-meat, wheatmeat, gluten meat, or simply gluten) is a foodstuff made from wheat gluten. It is made by washing dough made from wheat flour in water until the starch is rinsed away, leaving only the gluten, which can then be cooked and processed in various ways.
－－－－－－－－－－－回樓主：不客氣。如果還有資料我可以幫忙的盡管說。
－－－－－－－－－－－中國人現(xiàn)在的膳食情況是蛋白質(zhì)攝入過多，引起多種疾病
素食主要是取食物精氣（得天地日月輔育而成)，西方人分析的蛋白質(zhì)僅屬形，可見
