Complete protein

Hello - on my talk page, you said: Hope you don't mind answering - I need the answer to following questions regarding the edits you reverted. What is not addressed? Which source is outdated? I'm not fluent in English but I'll summarize what I'm trying to say: My point was to illustrate that plants do not lack complete protein and the terms complete and incomplete are themselves outdated since plants do not lack any amino acid. In common parlance, plants are considered as incomplete protein and the reference dietary intake source is outdated ( dated. 2005) which says, plants are deficient in one or two essential amino acids. In the preceding text they mention that animal sources contain all amino acids which will give the reader would wrongly interpret of the word deficient, they would consider as lack as opposed to limiting. For example, Lysine is limiting amino acid in rice but is highest in rice bran because of milling. Whole foods do not have have amino acids deficient in them it is the processed food that are deficient. The reason it is important to correct this misinformation is that many people are afraid to follow healthful, pure vegetarian diets—they worry about “incomplete proteins” from plant sources. I hope you understand my point. We could discuss on article Talkpage if you want. 111.125.209.233 (talk) 19:46, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

First, the FAO tables are from 1970, and only provide data with no interpretation for the general encyclopedia user. Second, the gelatin reference is from 1955, and didn't provide anything useful about the 'complete protein' concept to me. Third, the McDougall article from 2002 says "A vegetarian diet based on any single one or combination of these unprocessed starches (eg, rice, corn, potatoes, beans), with the addition of vegetables and fruits, supplies all the protein, amino acids, essential fats, minerals, and vitamins (with the exception of vitamin B12) necessary for excellent health", which is common sense for a mixed diet, and is clear enough. A "complete protein" food source is needed only if a diet is severely limited to one or a few foods, but - except in poverty and malnutrition - this is not applicable for general information. Rather than using older sources, it's best in Wikipedia if editors find a WP:SCIRS review published within the past 5 years (WP:MEDDATE) to support content. Good luck.
