Old cells have been replaced everyday by new cells in our bodies. Would the new cells be as healthy as, if not healthier, than the old ones if we are vegetarians, vegans or meat eaters? As fas as I know, our body needs essential amino acids to grow healthy cells together with other nutrients like vitamins, minerals & etc... Only animal proteins provide a full spectrum of amino acids but plant proteins do not. Then vegetarian or vegan are not getting some essential amino acids which are vital in building healthy cells. In this case, vegetarians or vegans could be jeopardizing their health. I would be happy to hear comments especially from experts in medecine or nutrition science.
