The following report is from Study Finds:
Plant-based diets may provide plenty of positives for human health, but a new study finds beef still takes the cake when it comes to burgers. Research by a team at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign reveals beef and pork burgers offer a more complete and digestible protein and amino acid profile than plant-based burger options.
Plenty of plant-based burgers claim to offer just as much protein as an old-fashioned beef or pork burger, but there’s more to the muscle-building story than simply counting grams of protein listed on the packaging. People often equate protein with muscle-building. It’s why those looking to build muscle eat tons of chicken and invest in post-workout protein shakes.
The reality of the situation is a bit more complex. Our muscles don’t need protein to grow, but they do need the essential amino acids found in protein. Different sources of protein offer different amino acids, and some are more helpful in terms of both concentration and digestibility than others.
To account for all this, the U.N.’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) put together the digestible indispensable amino acid score (DIAAS) about 10 years ago. Now, study authors used the DIAAS to reach these new conclusions. Initially, the research team set out to better understand differences in protein quality among beef and pork burgers and plant-based burgers from Impossible™ and Beyond Meat®.
Per the FAO’s recommendations, the team used pigs during their experiments. The hogs were fed pork burgers, 80 percent and 93 percent lean beef burgers, the soy-based Impossible Burger, and a pea-based Beyond Burger. From there, scientists assessed the digestibility of each burger’s individual essential amino acids, using that data to determine final DIAAS values.
The Best Burger For All Ages
Served without a bun, scientists call both the pork and beef burgers “excellent sources of protein” (DIAAS scores 100+, for people of all ages). Meanwhile, the team considers an Impossible Burger without a bun an excellent protein source, but only for people older than three. Finally, the study finds a bun-less, pea-based Beyond Burger is a “good source of protein” for people ages three and older.
We have previously observed that animal proteins have greater DIAAS values than plant-based proteins and that is also what we observed in this experiment.
Says Hans H. Stein, professor in the Department of Animal Sciences and the Division of Nutritional Sciences at Illinois, in a university release.
What About The Bun?
Despite the findings, the public typically eats their burgers with a bun. So, researchers analyzed these scenarios as well. Grain products, however, offer low protein quality. Results show adding a bun leads to a lower DIAAS score for all burger types across the board. It’s important to note, though, that both beef and pork burgers still boasted 100+ DIAAS scores after accounting for the addition of a bun.
There was a greater DIAAS value of mixing either the pork or beef burger with the bun – values of 107 and 105 respectively, for the over-3 age group – than there was for the Impossible Burger, which had a DIAAS value of 86 if consumed with the bun. That means you need to eat 15% more of the Impossible Burger- bun combination to get the same amount of digestible amino acids as if you eat the pork-based or the beef-based burgers. And if you have to eat more, that means you also get more calories.
Says study co-author Mahesh Narayanan Nair, a professor at Colorado State University.
It’s particularly children, teenagers, lactating women, and older people who are at risk of not getting enough amino acids. Results of this experiment, along with previous data, demonstrate the importance of getting animal-based proteins into diets to provide sufficient quantities of digestible essential amino acids to these populations.
This is also really important in developing countries where there may be little access to animal-based proteins, particularly for children. In some countries, a majority of children are amino acid deprived. That’s extremely serious because, if children don’t get enough amino acids, their brain development can suffer. It’s especially important in those cases to design a strategy for getting high-quality proteins into diets for children.
Prof. Stein concludes

AUTHOR COMMENTARY
[33] And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing. [34] Wherefore I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you. [35] And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all: and when he had broken it, he began to eat. [36] Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some meat.Acts 27:33-36
Even though this study attempts to try and not make plant-based slop sound bad, on top of the U.N’s untrustworthy standards, the bottom line and no-brainer is that animal meats and fats are a NECESSITY, especially in earlier development. This is why so many people that are Millennials and Gen-Z’ers act vert effeminate, and are weak and scrawny, because they were raised on diets that are utterly deficient in a wide spectrum of nutrients that can be found in high quantities in meats and animal fats; on top of the immensely estrogenic compounds found in these processed foods, beverages, and packaging.
Getting meat and fats out of one’s diet will make them LESS healthy, by a long shot. And this is why meats are being demonized, not because of the bogus carbon footprint crap, but because the satanic forces at the top want to control people easier. Being less healthy makes the person more weak, docile, and fickle.
A burger with high-quality grass-fed, pasture-raised meat, with organic toppings and bread, is very healthy for you, as you are getting a synergistic balance food and nutrients.
[1] Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; [2] Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; [3] Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. [4] For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: [5] For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.1 Timothy 4:1-5

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

I love burger. I eat it at least 3 or 4times a week
