And so, over the years, protein tended

to be associated with animal based foods.

Then, when plant proteins were

finally discovered and recognized,

it was shown animal based proteins,

as opposed to plant based proteins,

was more efficiently used by the body,

more efficiently used in the sense that

it tended to create faster rate growth.

And so, protein from animal based foods,

considered to have what is called

high quality or high biological value.

That has stuck with us througout

the decades and now almost centuries.

That assumption has

probably done more harm

to our general understanding of

what food and nutrition can do

to create health and prevent disease

than was any other discovery, in my view.

The reason for this is that

individual plants contain most,

but not all, the 20 individual

protein components found in meat.

Human meat has the most

complete protein content.

This doesn't mean we

have to eat other people

or animals to get all

the protein we need.

Both animals and people have

to eat a variety of plants

which together will give them the whole

complement of all the protein they need.

This way, nature ensures that people

and animals get to consume a variety

of the other nutrients found

in plants to optimize health.

Did you know that 100 calories of

spinach contains 12 grams of protein?

Which is virtually the

same as 100 calories of beef

which contains 13 grams of protein.

But instead of fat,

cholesterol and no fiber

the spinach contains fiber, no fat,

no cholesterol, lots of anti-oxidants,

iron and calcium and

it will fill you up.

The ideal diet is to eat

a variety of vegetables,

beans, lentils, grains, nuts,

seeds and fruits in combination,

just as do the largest

animals in the world.

This way, nature ensures that

people and animals get to consume

a wider variety of the other nutrients

found in plants to optimize health.

Let's see what researchers

at Harvard have to say.

Professor Walter Willet

is the chairman and head

of the Department of Nutrition at

Harvard School of Public Health.

What we're trying is set

up three large studies

that include about 300,000

men and women across the US

and we've repeatedly been collecting

dietary data from these individuals.

Over now has gone almost 30 years

and evaluating how that relates

to their risk of cancer, heart

disease and other conditions.

And through that we've learned a

lot about the influence of diet.

We've learned that diet is

important in ways that we've never

really dreamed of it at

the beginning of the study.

And what I think, the general

conclusion is our dietary choices

have an enormous impact on our
