Official position of the American Dietetic Association on vegetarianism (1993): "soy protein proved nutritionally equivalent in quality to animal protein; therefore, they can serve as the sole source of intake protein if desired. Proteins are large molecules consisting of smaller units called amino acids, which are linked together like pearls in a necklace. After being eaten, proteins are digested in the stomach and small intestine where the "pearls" – amino acids - are separate, and are at this moment, absorbed into the bloodstream. Our bodies' produce the proteins they need to maintain our tissues and for growth from amino acids separated by digestion - they reorganize the "pearls" in a different order. Amino acids are also used by our body to make hormones and other physiological active substances.
[...] Malnutrition protein calorie and has been postponed for 25 vegan children, especially in the age group of 3 to 12 months in a community of American Jews living in Israel. The main problem was the excessive dilution of milk produced by the plant community; in addition, other products consumed were insufficiently dense energy children under 3 years of the community were healthy, while those aged 4 to 18 months were small for their age. Growth was overtaken for children older than 18 months who had weights and sizes compliant. [...]
[...] The official position of the American Dietetic Association in 1993 on vegetarian diets confirms that, like amino acids in the diet can be combined with the amino acids produced by the body, it is not necessary for vegans or vegetarians combine proteins at every meal. Abundant amounts of amino acids are obtained when different foods are eaten each day. In addition to this, the Association specifies that "soy protein proved nutritionally equivalent in quality to animal protein; therefore, they can serve as the sole source of protein intake if desired".

[...] The national and international organizations which advise on nutrient requirements suggest standards which are calculated to meet or exceed the needs of virtually everyone in the population. They explicitly take into account individual variations, and their level has a wide safety margin overvalued. The recommendations of the World Health from 1985 still form the basis for many national benchmarks for required amount of protein. In 1991, the Ministry of Health of the United Kingdom has introduced new terms of reference for making nutrient. [...]
[...] However, a more rigorous study has indicated that the level of taurine in the blood of 11 American vegetarians was 20% lower than omnivores studied. Vegans rejected in their urine / 3 less taurine than omnivores, which is an adaptation of the body to conserve this amino acid. More studies are needed to clarify the situation, but there is no reported case of taurine deficiency in vegans. Carnitine is a substance naturally present, necessary for the metabolism of fat and is mainly present in meat and dairy products. [...]
