Protein quality, defined by digestibility, rate of digestion, and amino acid composition (specifically leucine), is essential for maximizing muscle protein synthesis.

“so in a nutshell two characteristics of a protein and their capacity to stimulate muscle protein synthesis is digestability the rate of digestion and the amino acid composition with particularly the amount of Lucine in the protein”

Excessive animal protein consumption increases cancer risk, while plant-based nutrition helps control gene expression related to disease.

“we can have the genes to cause it to start the initiation of events but that is we can control it by nutritional means”
