Body Absorbs Plant-Based Meat Less Than Animal-Based Meat: Study

News 18  

Many people are taking the path of veganism in order to protect animals. Recently, a study has suggested that protein from the plant-based meat alternatives may not be as accessible to human cells as those from real meat. Then, they used enzymes from plant-based meat and chicken breasts to see the absorption of protein in both the chambers separately. In four hours, they noticed that about two per cent less protein from the plant-based meat have travelled and transferred through the gut cells in comparison to the protein from the chicken breast. As quoted by science news portal, New Scientist, “Even though plant-based meat alternatives had fewer peptides being absorbed, they still provide a good profile of amino acids and could be an adequate complement to a well-balanced diet,” said the researchers Osvaldo Campanella and Da Chen.
