Question 1

what contains all nine essential amino acids?.

Accepted Answer

Most proteins: Animal protein, including poultry, milk and fish, give you the best balance, and you can mix proteins (i.e., maize and beans) to be sure you get enough if you're a vegan.

Question 2

what amino acids contain sulfur?

Accepted Answer

Two of them: Cysteine and methionine.

Question 3

do eggs contain all my needed amino acids?

Accepted Answer

YES: Eggs are such a good and complete source of amino acids/protein that they are the standard to which other foods are compared for adequacy of protein. 
It is wise to choose organic eggs and ones that are pasture-raised if possible. 
See http://www.Whfoods.Com/genpage.Php?Tname=foodspice;dbid=92 for a good discussion of the nutritional content of eggs.

Question 4

infant suffering from maple syrup disease shouldn't be given food that is containing branched chain amino acids,what are those foods?

Accepted Answer

MSUD: Some examples of foods high in protein include all types of meat (e.g., chicken, pork, beef, seafood), all types of dairy (e.g., milk, yogurt, cheese, whipped cream, ice cream, etc.), all types of beans and nuts (e.g., soybeans, pinto beans, peanuts, etc.), and eggs. People with MSUD must also learn what foods have some amount of protein and ways to measure how much. Each individual, depending on the severity of their disorder, is given a daily limit of the protein they can eat. It is okay for people with MSUD to eat some protein because, unlike an allergy, the protein will not cause them to have an "allergic" reaction. In fact, people with MSUD must eat some protein every day as everyone needs some in order to get some leucine, isoleucine and valine for growth and development. The trick is not to eat too much. This is done by learning to count and keep track of the amount they consume throughout the day.

Question 5

are whey and casein protein powder shakes safe long term? any alternatives that also contain all essential amino acids? thanks!

Accepted Answer

No consensus: Quinoa, a grain, is a complete protein, as is soybean. Eggs, chicken, meat and fish.  Best to eat wild fish like salmon, limit meat to antibiotic free-very lean meats, and cage free eggs and chicken.  Nuts and beans also have protein but are not complete.

Question 6

is there any interaction between isolate whey protein and klonopin (clonazepam)? i'm asking because protein contains amino acids and i suppose its not a good mix with klonopin (clonazepam).

Accepted Answer

Protein binding: We mostly have information on protein binding of Clonazepam (klonopin) in the context of organ failure compared to normal.  Any Amino Acid you eat, or any protein is usually well regulated by liver and kidneys and likely has little impact on its metabolism as a drug unless you have organ failure and altered protein metabolism.

Question 7

are amino acids destroyed by  acid?

Accepted Answer

See below: Amino acids are the building blocks of protein that help form muscles and other body tissue. Essential Amino Acids are those that must be consumed every day to support optimal health. Cooking foods destroys some essential Amino Acids they contain, but the negative effects vary depending on which cooking method is used.Even straight sulfuric acid will not destroy most amino acids.

Question 8

what are branched-chain amino acids?

Accepted Answer

Let me explain: The essential branched chain Amino Acids (bcaa's) include leucine, isoleucine, and valine.
The above "essential" Amino Acids will be used for protein synthesis which is optimal for advanced human performance. It should also be noted that essential Amino Acids are not produced in the body such as non-essential amino acids, but rather obtained through proper nutrition.

Question 9

what amino acids can i use for health?

Accepted Answer

A good diet: A well balanced diet with lean proteins should be enough without having to supplement. Otherwise if you were involved in an aggressive training g program, then protein bars and shakes may be advised.

Question 10

don?t understand what are amino acids used for?

Accepted Answer

Protein builders: Amino acids are chemicals which make up the internal sequential structures of all of the proteins in the body.  All members of the plant and animal kingdom use them, some more than others.  You get them in your diet and by internal construction with your bodies biochemistry.
