Vegans Unite!). I just want good science practiced.<br /><br />I don't think the results will change anyone's beliefs about what to eat; the roots of those are too complex, pscyhologically and culturally. But some frickin' sound science, unfettered with agendae, to refer to would certainly be welcome. And not done at the expense of third-world peoples. They're people.

The weak levels of the amino acid, lysine, found in grain has customarily been considered grain’s nutritional ‘weak link.’ However, unknown by many people, there are several grains rich in lysine such as buckwheat, amaranth, quinoa and oats. These grains can either be eaten by themselves or blended with wheat, one of the low lysine grains, providing a balanced protein. You can also do this by adding dairy products or legumes to your diet. It’s not necessary to eat meat to exceed the body’s protein needs.</I><A HREF="http://www.usaemergencysupply.com/information/grainsintro.php" REL="nofollow">Introduction to Grains</A>I'm shocked the organization conducting the experiment didn't at least give them some carrots, brocolli, and leafy greens.

It's outrageous.<br /><br />There are major controversies in the international medical community about the ethics of research conducted in poor countries by investigators from wealthy countries. They like to go to Africa where they don't have to provide people in the control arm of their experiments with the standard of care in the developed countries. In essence, they can do Tuskeegee syphillis experiment type research, and get away with it, as in this case. I believe the Public Citizen Health Research Group (no time now to get a link, sorry) has been compiling information and doing good work on this. There is an international convention (an update of the so-called Helsinki convention, developed in the wake of Nazi medical experiments) which is currently under consideration, on which the controversy is focused.Cervanteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11302076828795198187noreply@blogger.com
