What about protein, how do I get enough of it?

Raw Food Lifestyle - Frequently Asked Questions - Health Fre...
This is the #1 question people have when they are considering a raw food diet. People think that protein comes only from meat, dairy or at least soy, and that without eating at least some of those foods, they won't get enough.. As a matter of fact every living cell contains protein: every plant cell has protein as a basic constituent in its cytoplasm. Vegetables contain protein! Seeds and nuts obviously contain proteins. Seaweeds and algae are very rich sources also.

What is this Folding@home anyway?

AOA - F@H: Frequently Asked Questions
Folding@home is a distributed computing project that uses our computers to unravel the mysteries of the protein folding procedures. We are helping scientists at Stanford University to understand why and how proteins 'fold', so it will be easier for them to find cures for diseases like Alzheimers, Parkinsons, BSE, CJD, certain types of cancer, the influenza virus, Osteogenesis Imperfecta, etc.

Why are you merging with Folding@home?

Genome@home FAQ
The Folding@home project, especially the 2.x infrastructure and it's new updated 3.0 client, has been the major focus of the Pande Group's software development and methods research efforts over the last three years. The client and server software is more stable, versatile, and advanced than G@h Classic. Most importantly, as the research efforts of the Pande Group broaden and mature, and the Folding@home research project evolves, we need to avoid duplicating the efforts of our researchers.

What About Folding System Copies?

FAQ
The original folding patent has now expired and a few imitations have appeared in some countries. Usually old technology has been copied, and the folding geometry on some is such that it will be impossible for one person to fold. Some also do not even bother to use plastic bushings between the aluminum folding struts and stainless steel pivot pins.

Why would someone purchase the Isotonic? Folding Bed?

Memory Foam Factory - Frequently Asked Question - Comfort Pr...
When memory foam is manufactured it develops a thin skin on its exterior. This skin is denser than the foam itself and doesn't breathe well. It can be most closely compared to the skin that develops on the top of chocolate pudding when it cools in the refrigerator. The removal of this memory foam skin adds another process to our manufacturing system and therefore adds to our cost. Because of this increased cost, other manufacturers choose to leave this skin on the memory foam.

How Was The Farrier Folding System Invented?

FAQ
Sailing through a fleet of monohull trailer sailers in 1973, while on an early Piver trimaran, it occurred to designer that the trimaran configuration would be ideal for the trailer sailer. It is light for towing, much more stable, totally unsinkable, and it sails much faster. The only problem was how to fold it down for trailering. Several existing systems were investigated, including telescopic beams, straight hinges, and the 'swing wing' system.

How does whey protein compare to soy protein?

alpha-lactalbumin,beta-lactoglobulin,glycomacropeptides,lact...
Whey protein is a nutritionally complete protein. It contains bioactive ingredients, like immunoglobulins and lactoferrin, that help support the immune system. Athletes prefer whey protein to soy protein due to its rich abundance of branched chain amino acids and its quick absorption rate. These are important to help repair and rebuild muscles after a workout or competitive event. Whey protein has a fresh, neutral taste compared and will not change the taste of foods you add it to.

What is a protein microfraction?

EAS.com | ENERGY-ATHLETICS-STRENGTH
Microfractions are functional components of protein, and are especially abundant in pure whey protein products such as that found in 100% Whey Protein. Among their many health benefits, microfractions may support immune function, and many provide growth factors for enhanced muscle growth. A special type of Omega-6 fatty acid that may help support lean mass and fat loss. A great alternative for athletes sensitive to stimulants containing thermogenic products.

Do vegans get enough protein?

Untitled
Yes. Many vegan foods are high in protein, including soy products, nuts, beans, legumes, grains, and even many vegetables. You do not need to combine these foods in any special way to provide "complete" protein, and you can easily get all essential amino acids from plant-based foods. You will not suffer from a protein deficiency so long as you eat enough calories from a variety of sources. People in affluent societies generally eat too much meat and therefore too much protein.
