You can find isoleucine-rich foods in:

Lamb, Veal, and Game Products
Beef Products
Dairy and Egg Products
Legumes and Legume Products
Poultry Products
Nuts and Seeds

With the exception of the legumes, nuts, and seeds - I wouldn’t expect mice to be eating most of this type of stuff anyway, so it makes sense too much is a bad thing for them.

Smells like BS to me.

I remember when an article came out a few years ago saying that L-Carnitine causes cancer. Guess what has the most L-Carnitien? Beef

Were the rats given a natural diet, like they’d typically have in their normal environment, and then had isoleucine restricted? I highly highly doubt it. So, was there truly a control comparisson?

Also, look at that list. Animal products. Flesh, dairy, eggs and high protein vegetables. Well???? Guess what animno acids are. Protein!!! So ofcourse the list of foods high in isoleucine are high-protein foods!

It’s all more anti-meat propaganda, I strongly suspect.

Why didn’t they suggest eating insects is bad? Ooops

Recent studies suggest that too little or too much of anything is bad for us.

We really need to create a whole new Department of Nutrition. They can create meals that have the exact right amount of each nutritional element to keep us all as healthy as possible.

They could then come up with some sort of coupon system where we can bring our coupons to distribution centers and receive our weekly allotment of perfectly nutritious foods.

Why this isn't already the case is a complete travesty.

Carnivores such as tigers, leopards, hyenas have strong bodies, but live lot less years than herbivores such as elephants, turtles.

All one has to do is open eyes and use the brain to observe.

Enough departments of anything. Bureaucracies are cancers in and of themselves.

It starts of with those who have a high BMI, fat people do consume too much, they could have stopped here. No fat residents at the old folks home.

You have to die of something. Once I pass age 80, I’m going to eat what I want.

"But narrowing these benefits down to a single amino acid gets us closer to understanding the biological processes and maybe potential interventions for humans, like an isolieucine-blocking drug."

They are always looking to sell us another drug.

What do you want to bet that the drug to that reduces isolieucine in your system will have a really bad side effect like death.

But the Department of Nutrition would be the "DON".

"If you don't want anything bad to happen to you then you will take the Don's advice, capiche?"
