Now that we've had a look at the most
common sources of
plant protein, let's discuss some key differences between vegan
protein powder and non vegan
protein powder and a small caveat.
Hemp is one of the best
plant - based
sources of
protein — it's a complete
protein (meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids), it's high in omega - 6 and omega - 3 fatty acids, and it's rich in magnesium, which is one of the most
common nutrient deficiencies.
Other speakers discussed how soy products will help meet U.S. dietary guidelines, with its renewed emphasis on
plant - based diets; noted that the soy industry is working on production of novel varieties of high oleic soybean oil low in saturated fat; stressed the marketing of soy as a complete
protein, perfectly appropriate as the only
protein source for infants, children and adults; promoted the use of «stealth health» as opposed to «muscling» in change to force dietary changes (that is, sneak soy into
common food products); speculated on how to remove the allergens from soy; and figure out what to do about the fact that soy doesn't actually taste very good.
