Health Risks andAdvantages of Plant Proteins
The composition of plant proteins differs from that of animal proteins.

The value of methionine + cystine 1.21 g is 67% of the lower borderline of the interval of optimalreguirement vs. 110% in omnivores (1.98 g).The lysine and tryptophan intake iswithin the interval of optimal reguirement, the other essential amino acids areslightly higher.
