Ultimately meat is our best source of protein, but I can't afford main course meat every day... ;) Katie PS - Welcome! Sarah,

I am definitely going to start putting these ideas into practice in my kitchen. However I've read that the theory we have to combine our proteins is a myth that just won't go away and that it is not necessary. What are your thoughts on this? I love your site!

My Google search turned up a few sources that confirmed that milk has all 22 amino acids. I wonder why my book sourced it differently. I did find this: *Beef, egg, fish, milk all have different ( unique ) amino acid ratios and thus have different %s of usable protein. *Animal protein is generally a complete protein, but even the protein in animal products does not have a perfect amino acid ratio. Animal protein can be as low as 60% usable protein up to about 85% usable protein. (http://www.csmngt.com/amino_acids.htm) Going deeper into the <em>Super Baby Food</em> book, Yaron does say that milk products are complete proteins, but I guess it's only "adequate" in the "sulphur-containing proteins", for what that is worth. Some of the other items (grains, etc) have adequate s-c proteins, too, so they must complement each other there. There are 8 essential amino acids that our body cannot produce on its own, but 22 total. No meat or vegetable source has the perfect balance of all 22, so complementarity is still in play. ??? Thank you for adjusting my facts! Hmmm, it seems you are right. My Google search turned up a few sources that confirmed that milk has all 22 amino acids. I wonder why my book sourced it differently.
