    Another reason I’m grateful I stopped eating that nasty flesh.

      They’re talking about tryptophan—an amino acid, not a protein as the article calls it.

      You’ll have to avoid tofu, quinoa, chia seeds, flax seeds and lots of nuts, too.

      There’s as much tryptophan in 1/2 cup of tofu as in 3 ounces of roast pork.
