In mice. No one thinks it applies to humans when it’s promising medicine, so why would this mean anything? It is a question, not trying to say it’s not worth discussing!
Wondering what exactly causes this effects in plant based meats as I notice that eating plants (fruits and veg and nuts), at least for me, seems to make my digestive function a lot happier than eating real meat. But I guess happier doesn’t say much about what’s actually going on down there.
- hammyhavoc 4y agoCame here to say that my digestive function is also much happier with Quorn et al. Never miss meat.
- FollowingTheDao 4y agoamylase trypsin inhibitors might be part of the problem. They are only found in plant-based foods. https://rupress.org/jem/article/209/13/2395/40998 https://rupress.org/jem/article/209/13/2395/40998
- ElCheapo 4y agoThat's not what the abstract says. They're specifically talking about foods which are claimed to be meat replacements. If you have an all-encompassing and well varied vegan diet then this study doesn't really say anything about your situation
- eej71 4y agoI enjoyed your earlier typo that misused the word - taunted - when you probably meant touted. In a sense your typo is right! They are taunted as a meat replacement.
- tluyben2 4y ago> That's not what the abstract says. What is not? I started my second paragraph asking what in plant based meat, in that regard, is causing the difference vs eating plants…
- ElCheapo 4y agoA) group 1 gets an omnivore diet, group 2 gets the same diet but substitutes all the meat with "meat replacements" B) group 1 gets an omnivore diet, group 2 gets a vegan diet those are two different experiments
- h0l0cube 4y agoThis isn't the plant-based meat or regular meat products that you would get off the shelf: > Meat and plant-based meat analogue diets were prepared as follows: Firstly, all visible fat and connective tissue were removed. Pork or beef muscles were cut into smaller sizes that were visibly similar to plant-based meats. Secondly, the samples were freeze-dried and ground to a powder. All the resulting powders were passed through a 25-mesh sieve. Thirdly, the content of the main components of the freeze-dried meat powder were determined and shown in Table S1. Fourthly, the nutritionally balanced semi-synthetic AIN-93M formula2 was used as reference and the ingredients in it were replaced by meat or meat analogues according to the results of the determination. The protein in the diet is derived entirely from meat or plant-based meat analogues. Finally, the granule and purified type diets were prepared by Trophic Animal Feed High-tech Co., Ltd., China. The ingredient composition and nutritional content of diets were shown in Tables S2 and Tables S3. Except for the higher sodium, fiber, or fat content in plant-based meat analogues that cannot be fully balanced based on the protein content, various other nutrients are present in equal amounts in real meat and plant-based meat analogue diets.
- ravio64 4y agoSince I started mainly eating vegan diet (my partner is vegan so we eat so at home) my digestive functions are functioning a lot happier. :)
- FollowingTheDao 4y agoI was vegan for three years and vegetarian for 15. My cholesterol kept rising in my gut was horrible. I do not eat beef, but I do eat venison and bison but mostly seafood. I feel much better now.
- tluyben2 4y agoWonder what you ate at those times. That doesn’t sound like something that should happen.
- FollowingTheDao 4y agoI can assure you it was not junk food vegan. All whole foods and balanced. After I obtained my genome I realized that I need more long chain Omega 3 in my diet because of my FADS1 genetic profile. You do not get that from plant based foods. It was also revealed that my Finnish heritage probably has some Inuit genetics.
- cies 4y agoSame here. I first went vegetarian for 10+ years, still eating lots of dairy. When I made the step to "when possible not burden animals with my behavior" I noticed my digestion improved, my random all-year-round running noses disappeared and my skin cleared up significantly.
- myth_drannon 4y agoMeat replacements are highly processed food with so many additives to make it taste like meat.
