Toxic Sulfur Distinguishes Animal Foods
The qualities of the proteins we consume are as important as the quantities. One very important distinction between animal and plant-derived protein is that animal proteins contain very large amounts of the basic element sulfur. This sulfur is found as two of the twenty primary amino acids, methionine and cysteine. Derived from these two primary sulfur-containing amino acids are several other sulfur-containing amino acids these are keto-methionine, cystine, homocysteine, cystathionine, taurine, cysteic acid.

1) Amino acids, as the name implies are acids; the sulfur-containing amino acids are the strongest acids of all, they breakdown into powerful sulfuric acid. Excess acid, as discussed above, is a primary cause of bone loss leading to osteoporosis and kidney stone formation.29
2) Methionine is metabolized into homocysteine animal foods are the major source of the amino acid, homocysteine, in people the more meat in the diet, the higher a persons blood level of homocysteine. A diet high in fruits and vegetables lowers the levels of this amino acid. Epidemiological and clinical studies have proven homocysteine to be an independent risk factor for heart attacks, strokes, closure of the arteries to the legs (peripheral vascular disease), blood clots in the legs (venous thrombosis), thinking problems (cognitive impairment), and even worse mental troubles, like dementia, Alzheimer's disease, and depression.30
3) Sulfur feeds cancerous tumors. Cancer cell metabolism is dependent upon methionine being in the diet; whereas, normal cells can grow on a methionine-free diet (feeding off of other sulfur-containing amino acids). This methionine-dependency has been demonstrated for breast, lung, colon, kidney, melanoma, and brain cancers.31,32 Increasing methionine in the diet of animals promotes the growth of cancer.33
There is also evidence of cancer promoting effects of methionine mediated through a powerful growth stimulating hormone, called insulin-like growth factor - 1 (IGF-1).34 Meat and dairy products raise IGF-1 levels and promote the growth of cancers of the breast, colon, prostate, and lung.35
4) Sulfur from sulfur-containing amino acids is known to be toxic to the tissues of the intestine, and to have deleterious effects on the human colon, even at low levels.36 The consequence of a diet of high-methionine (animal) foods may be a life-threatening inflammatory bowel disease, called ulcerative colitis.37-38
5) Sulfur restriction prolongs life.39 Almost seventy years ago, restricting food consumption was found to prolong the life of animals by changing the fundamental rate at which aging occurs.40 Restriction of methionine in the diet has also been shown to prolong the life of experimental animals. By no coincidence, a diet based on plant foods is inherently low in both calories and methionine thus the easiest and most effective means to a long and healthy life.
6) Possibly a stronger motivation to keep protein, and especially methionine-rich animal protein, out of your diet is foul smelling odors halitosis, body odor, and noxious flatus akin to the smell of rotten eggs are direct results of the sulfur (animal protein) you eat.41,42

My diet is excessive in protein like many others here but I think a high carb diet can be just as bad if not worse.
Why not just eat a regular balanced diet like the fda recommends?

Great diet advice for the new year.
My latest irritant is the Hebrew girl on POF who try to subvert my filter by claiming they are "Mixed Race" oh brother.

suffer...what one gets from heme iron and sulfer...suffer..

Mixed race ???

Yes in the New Year we should all resolve to have more intelligent conversations about that damn heme-iron.
^^^^ Borachotron yes that's exactly what I'm talking about

Who is that?

eating a "balanced" diet while trying to do alot of shit during the day=fat gain
eating a high carb diet while trying to do alot of shit =very little fat gain you can keep your weight
eating meat diet =all sorts of problems popping up down the road

How about lysine, Falcon?
Lysine: The Limiting Amino Acid in Vegan Diets
Before getting into a somewhat technical discussion about the protein needs of vegans, let's just cut to the chase - the RDA for lysine is more important than for protein. If you meet lysine requirements on a vegan diet, you will most likely meet protein requirements.
Per serving, legumes and seitan are the foods highest in the amino acid lysine. Tofu, tempeh, soy meats, lentils, and seitan are the highest, followed by other legume foods. Quinoa, pistachios, and pumpkin seeds are also decent sources of lysine.
It is very hard to design a vegan diet that meets lysine requirements for a person who does not exercise daily without including legumes, seitan, quinoa, pistachios, or pumpkin seeds without having too many calories. It is much easier to do for regular exercisers whose calorie requirements are higher - the low lysine foods will add up to provide enough. While many vegan, raw foodist athletes appear to thrive on the diet many raw foodist non-athletes struggle with raw diets; it might be the case that part of this is due to the athletes eating more calories and thus meeting lysine needs with low lysine foods.

Mixed race ???
I just saw this. I have never claimed to be "mixed race." EVER. I think the closest I've ever come to that was saying "I am half black and half...black."
Haha, I couldn't pass for "mixed" anything even if I wanted to. I am a kinky-haired, full-mouthed, caribbean, total asshole. Blaaaaaaack.
