Amino Acids - Can All Eight Be Found in Plants?

Dr. Klaper talks about vegan nutrition and amino acids, and if all eight types of amino acids can be found in a plant-based diet. Some believe that these amino acids are only found in meat, when in fact that is secondhand protein. Plants ARE the source of amino acids and every plant has all eight amino acids. Protein anxiety can be put to rest with this information.

Question: Is it true that we need eight types of amino acids that are only found in meat and not in any plants?

Thank you Dr Klaper !
Beautifully explained, after that explanation no one should ever have any doubts about getting enough amino acids from a whole food plant diet.
Choose kindness over cruelty, live a non violent life.
No excuse for animal abuse !

I have been overweight my entire adult life. I lost 50 pounds in the last year on low carb high protein high fat diet with vitamins, supplements and exercise. Now at age 72 I feel better than when I was 50. Vegetarian high carb diet does not work for me

Have you ever heard about the morringa three, research said it found 18 of 20 amino acids including all the essential amino acids

[bryceherring]

Weird how hundreds of millions of people on earth for tens of thousands of years have been consuming the flesh of animals as you like to say it, and have done just fine, are they all wrong?,

[tybrady]

Thank you for clearing that up! I have seen this mis-“information” of amino acids only found in meat. I knew protein was only produced in plants, but I thought the animal somehow added extra amino acids to the protein.

[manusheunis]

So, the real question should then be, where do meat eaters get their protein?

[agrifinoladeras]

What plant have plenty essential amino acids?

[TheRealCompensator]

8 amino acids? Aren’t there supposed to be 9 essential amino acids

[christopherhill]

I don’t think anyone in the realm of Paleo or carnivore-based diet disagree with essential proteins being found in plants at all.

0:24 Thank-you for calling it DIS-info instead of MIS-info.

Never heard this before. The statement did seem a bit out of context. Its been said only animal "source" proteins contain a complete amino acid profile, which includes eggs and dairy products. Nobody ever said you must eat flesh. Of course quinoa and hemp seeds are said to have that full profile as well.

In the fitness industry is where i learned this which according to you is disinformation. So therefore an athlete could potentially eat just Potatoes as a food source and do just fine, if im understanding you correctly?

[AtypicalPaul]

I thought was 9 essential amino acids?
20 in total

[wapperjaw]

Watch ... "The Dangerous Truth About Protein" by Janice Stanger, Ph.D. Very good information concerning what the human body needs concerning Proteins.

[Bradmurphy]

Beans cause so much digestion interruptions though ? Pls speak on the anti chemicals of plants and provide a vegan that is jacked and sufficient in all minerals and in their 50s pls thx for info

[DineiRosendo]

I wil never stop eat meat, fish or chicken, but, there is so many information in these great videos 👍

[biggregg]

I thought there were 20 amino acids. 10 essential and 10 non-essential.
