Whole grains + fruits and vegetables = liver detoxification? It turned out to be wrong...

The liver is an important organ in the human body, but many people believe that cellulose or enzymes are the most important nutrients for liver detoxification, so eating more whole grains and fruits and vegetables can enhance liver detoxification and prevent cancer. In fact, Chinese medicine practitioners say that this is a wrong concept.

Dr. Li Fenlan, a Canadian licensed Chinese medicine practitioner and nutritionist, pointed out in his book "Correcting Food Mistakes - Seven Detoxification Myths" that life begins with the formation of protein; the formation of cells is the decoding of protein amino acids DNA and RNA. Without protein nutrients, cells cannot differentiate and survive, the immune system will not only collapse, but the liver will also be unable to detoxify effectively.

Whey Protein Isolate for Liver Detoxification

Not only that, the liver's detoxification pipeline must rely on many essential amino acids to function. Only complete proteins contain all 8 essential amino acids that the human body cannot synthesize on its own. According to the calculation standards of the World Health Organization, isolated whey protein has the highest biological value of protein and the best absorption rate by the human body, making it particularly suitable for strengthening liver detoxification.

Taking in high-quality protein nutrients helps the liver detoxify and is very important for people with low or abnormal liver function. Among foods, except chicken, other meats contain complete proteins; on the contrary, except for a few plants such as seaweed and hemp seeds, most of the proteins contained in plants are incomplete proteins. Although plant protein is easier to digest than meat protein, its utilization rate in the human body is lower than that of meat protein.

Nuts and beans are not good for people with poor kidney function

Chinese medicine practitioner Li Fenlan emphasized that the utilization rate of complete proteins in the human body is generally higher than that of incomplete proteins. The higher the plant protein content of nuts and beans, the higher the nitrogen content of protein metabolites produced in the human body, which is not good for kidney health. People with low renal function are prone to high levels of urea nitrogen and creatinine or gout.

It is worth noting that the market for isolate whey protein in Taiwan and China is very chaotic. Many health food companies mix isolate soy protein with low concentrated whey protein to make protein nutrients for sale. There are also many health food companies that sell low concentrated whey protein as full isolate whey protein, causing consumers to misunderstand isolate whey protein and even lose confidence in the function of isolate whey protein. In addition, the US market markets highly concentrated whey protein as isolate whey protein, which makes ordinary consumers even more confused.

Study: Vegetarians are more likely to be deficient in protein

It is easy for healthy people to get enough protein nutrients from meat. Unfortunately, most Chinese people mainly eat pork, which contains streptococci and must be cooked before eating to avoid getting sick. But when pork is cooked, the protein in it is also destroyed. Fish protein is the easiest to digest and absorb among all meats.

Shellfish, like nuts, contain high levels of arginine, which can easily induce inflammation and allergic reactions and is not suitable for people with low liver and kidney function. Vegetarians are prone to protein deficiency, which affects the liver's detoxification function. They can choose highly concentrated whey protein or isolated whey protein as protein supplements.

High Carbohydrates Make Cancer Cells Spread

The latest medical evidence shows that glucose is an indispensable element for the survival and spread of cancer cells. Whole grains, vegetables and fruits are rich in carbohydrates, which are eventually converted into glucose in the human body after consumption. Many medical clinics, including that of the University of South Florida, have confirmed that the more carbohydrates a cancer patient eats, the faster the cancer cells will spread. The public should not take this lightly.
