How It Works The Dietary Protein Trap

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Jan. 6, 2025 - PRLog -- This is a remnant of our caveman days. When we were cavemen, food was scarce. So we needed to be able to get energy regardless of what food we ate.

Berries? No problem. They contain carbs that are burned for energy. Nuts? They are also burned for energy. Freshly killed squirrel? Some of the protein in the meat is turned into lean body mass… and the rest of it is turned into glucose for energy.

So how can you tell if your body is using the protein for muscle or if it's turning it into excess glucose? Scientists have answered this question.

You see, amino acids contain nitrogen. And when amino acids are turned into proteins, the nitrogen remains in your body as part of the protein. But when amino acids are converted into sugar, the nitrogen is released and passes through to your urine.

So if you want to know if your food is being turned into protein or sugar, all you have to do is measure the amount of nitrogen in your urine!

This measurement is called Protein Utilization. Here's how it works:

If a dietary protein has a Protein Utilization of 100%, it means that there is no nitrogen in your urine and that the body is using 100% of the amino acids in that food to build body protein. That's great!

On the other hand, if a protein source has a Protein Utilization of 10% that means your body is only using 10% of the amino acids to make body protein. That means your body is turning 90% of those amino acids into sugar. Not good!

So what's the best source of dietary protein, with the highest Protein Utilization? Scientists found that it's breast milk, with a Protein Utilization of 49%. That makes sense, because babies need an efficient source of dietary protein. But we're not babies, so what's the next best source of protein?

There is a source that is better than that at around 99% visit  http://www.drinkbc6.com  for details
