    In

    recent

    times

    a

    great

    many books

    have

    ap-

    peared in

    English on

    the subject

    of

    vegetarianism.

    One

    ofthe

    most

    informative

    and

    instructive

    that

    have

    reached

    our

    hands

    is

    The

    Vegeturian

    Handbook:

    Eating

    Right

    for

    Totul

    Health

    authored

    by

    Gary

    Null,

    who

    holds

    a Ph.D.

    in

    Nutrition

    and

    Public

    Health

    Science.

    The

    medical

    consultant

    for

    this

    book

    was

    Dr.

    Martin

    Feldman,

    a Graduate

    of

    Yale

    Col-

    lege

    and

    the

    Columbia

    College of

    Physicians

    and

    Surgeons.

    The

    latter

    was

    a

    resident

    in

    neurology at

    the

    famous

    Mt.

    Sinai

    Hospital

    and

    an assistant

    Clini-

    cai

    Professor

    of

    Neurology

    at

    Mt. Sinai

    Medical

    School,

    with

    a

    medical

    nutrition

    practice

    in

    Man-

    hattan,

    New

    York.

    Another

    recent book

    that

    is

    of

    great

    interest

    is

    A

    Vegetarian

    Sourcebook

    by

    Keith

    Akers, a

    com-

    professional

    who

    which

    may be

    said

    to

    have

    paved

    the

    way

    to

    much

    of

    the

    success

    of

    the

    modern

    Ani-

    mal

    Rights

    movement

    in the

    world,

    has

    described

    this

    book

    as

    "the

    best

    possible

    introduction

    to the

    subject"

    vegetarianism.

    Thero of

    the

    New

    Buddhist

    V

    ihara

    for

    sending

    us these

    books

    and several

    other

    publications

    to enable

    us to

    share

    with

    our

    readers

    the

    fruits

    of

    recent studies

    on

    the subject.

    It

    is worth

    noting

    that

    research

    on

    vegetarian

    diet

    is

    continuing

    apace

    and

    some

    views

    which

    vegetarians

    themselves

    have

    been

    holding

    on

    this

    malter

    have to

    be updated

    and

    modified

    in

    view

    of

    such

    studies,

    some

    of them

    computer

    -

    based,

    conducted

    in

    recent times.

    (As

    a

    matter

    of

    fact

    even

    some

    of

    the

    views

    we

    discuss

    below

    are

    considerably

    different

    from those

    that we

    quoted in the

    last issue

    of

    our magazine')

    In

    this

    issue we will

    focus on some

    nutritional

    aspects

    of vegetarianism,

    especially

    the

    question

    of

    protein

    requirements, basrng

    ourselves

    on

    the

    two

    publications mentioned

    above.

    We

    hope

    the

    discus-

    sion will

    give

    our

    readers an

    idea of the

    new vege-

    tariart

    literature

    and

    also show them

    how

    important

    it is for

    avegetarian

    to be well

    -

    informed on matters

    connected

    with diet.

    All of us

    vegetarians

    have ever so

    often been

    asked

    how we

    are

    to

    get

    our

    proteins,

    if we

    do

    not

    take

    any

    foods derived

    from animal sources.

    Well,

    what

    is

    protein? Basically

    we

    can

    con-

    sider

    protein

    as

    building

    blocks.

    It

    is

    the stuff

    from

    which

    our bodies

    are

    made.

    It

    helps to build,

    main-

    tain

    and

    repair

    just

    about every

    part

    of

    our

    bodies:

    hair, finger and

    toe

    nails, skin

    muscles, cartilage

    and

    tendons.

    Many

    of

    our

    hormones, antibodies

    and en-

    zymes

    consist

    of

    protein.

    Chemically,

    proteins

    are chain-like

    molecules

    consisting

    of

    individual links

    called amino-acids.

    There are

    22 amino

    acids

    required for the

    human

    body

    to

    synthesise

    protein

    and

    most

    of

    them can be

    manufactured

    by

    the body

    itself. Eight cannot

    be

    ma.nufactured in

    this way,

    or

    nine

    in the

    case

    of

    child-

    ren.

    The

    narnes of these

    amino

    acids

    are

    valine,

    leucine,

    isoleucine,

    lysine, threonine,

    trptophan,

    methionine,

    phenylanine and

    -

    what

    children

    need

    and

    adults

    do

    not

    -

    histadine,

    which

    is important for

    physical

    growth

    and

    development.

    These

    must

    be

    supplied

    by

    the diet.

    If even

    one of

    these

    eight

    is

    absent,

    protein

    cannot be

    synthesised

    and

    the other

    seven

    go

    to

    waste.

    For this

    reason these

    eight

    (or

    nine)

    are

    called

    essential

    amino

    acids.

    Foods that contain

    all

    these amino

    acids used

    to

    be

    called

    "complete

    proteins".

    Meat,

    eggs, dairy

    products

    etc.

    were

    given

    as examples

    of such

    foods.

    Foods that

    do

    not contain

    all

    the essential

    amino

    ac-

    ids

    in

    the

    right

    proportions were called

    "incomplete

    proteins". Plant proteins generally were

    regarded

    as

    inferior

    to

    proteins derived

    from

    animal

    sources.

    A

    result of

    the

    idea of the

    "

    superiority"

    of ani-

    mal

    proteins is the theory

    of

    protein

    complementarity.

    It was

    Frances

    Moore

    Lappe who

    advanced

    this

    idea

    in her book

    Dietfor

    a

    Small

    Planet

    (1971).

    Accord-

    ing to

    her

    theory

    in

    order

    to avoid

    protein

    malnutri-

    tion,

    the

    vegetarian

    should

    complement

    his or

    her

    proteins,

    i.e., combine

    a

    food

    weak

    in

    an

    amino

    acid

    with

    another

    food

    which

    is

    strong

    in

    that amino

    acid,

    as,

    for

    example,

    Soya

    with

    rice and so

    on.

    Modern

    nutritionists

    have abandoned

    this

    theory

    of

    complete

    and

    incomplete

    proteins. They

    now

    evaluate

    protein

    in terms

    of

    its

    quality.

    Quality

    is determined

    by

    a

    formula that

    estimates

    the utili-

    sation

    of

    a

    protein

    food

    by the

    human

    body.

    Re-

    searchers

    call

    thts the "net

    protein

    utilisation"

    (NPU)

    which

    tells

    how

    much we

    are able

    to use of the

    pro-

    tein

    in

    a

    food.

    Here

    not only the

    amino acid

    content,

    but

    also

    its

    digestibility,

    is

    taken

    into

    account.

    If

    we

    cannot

    digest

    a

    food thoroughly,

    we cannot

    utilise

    its amino

    acids.

    One

    factor

    that

    increases the digesti-

    bility

    of

    a food

    is

    its

    high

    fibre

    content.

    The richest

    sources

    of

    fibre are

    plant foods:

    whole

    grains,

    seeds,

    fruits

    and

    vegetables.

    The

    fibre

    itself in these

    foods

    is

    not

    digested,

    but

    it

    s\^/eeps

    quickly

    through

    the

    intestines

    and

    prevents

    much

    bacterral

    action

    and

    protects the

    protein molecules

    within

    the

    food

    from

    the

    destructive

    chemical

    effects

    of

    digestive

    enzymes.

    This

    view of

    protein

    is

    now

    supported

    by nu-

    tritionists

    and

    bio-chemists

    of

    the

    US

    Department

    of

    Agriculture

    and

    the

    Food

    and

    Drug

    Administra-

    tion.

    According to

    the

    Food

    and

    Human

    Nutrition

    Centre,

    a

    division of

    the US

    Department of

    Agricul-

    ture,

    total

    protein

    refers to

    the amino

    acid

    composi-

    tion

    of

    a

    food

    rather than

    to

    its

    "completeness".

    Sim-

    ply stated,

    what

    is

    important

    about

    a

    protein

    is

    whether

    it

    has

    in it

    all

    the

    amino

    acids

    your

    body

    needs

    and

    whether

    those

    amino

    acids

    are

    in

    the

    right

    proportion

    for

    it

    to

    absorb

    them.
