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.
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
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.
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
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
