Re: Non-meat protein?

The context of your sources is off base. Remember, the OP was in regards to children, and a non meat source of protein. So...

Feel free to show me what you think the protein content in human breast milk is. Anytime.
Surly you are aware that the composition of breast milk is entirely dynamic. Nice red herring attempt though.

Quote:
The rat study information you cite shows what happens when baby rats get a fraction of the protein they require. Obviously, that would be very bad for the health of the baby rats. Duh...
Thats not fair

Quote:
The same would happen to humans if you fed them a fraction of the protein they need. Again, duh.
Are you saying that 8% is only a fraction? If so, then why do you contradict yourself by posting WHO guidelines?

And just to clear things up, the "pups" were not protein deprived, nor were they being fed anything other than the mother's milk. It was the lactating mothers that were fed either 20% protein or 8% protein. Newborns were nursed from either one of the other.

Quote:
But nobody here is saying humans should be protein-deprived, so the study you cite is irrelevant here.
Where in the study were they protein deprived? Maybe you should try reading

None the less, i have a couple questions that i would like you to answer.

What role do fats, both saturated and non saturated, as well as cholesterol play in child brain development? Second, is it medically advised (not some quack vegan doctor either) to totally remove cholesterol and saturated fat from a child's diet?

Do remember the context of my questions (child) as it is on par with the OP.
