Over my 20 years of consulting for the U.S. dairy industry, and 15 years of writing for Dairy Foods, I’ve learned a lot about protein quality. On the golf course recently, I mentioned that I was a food scientist and nutritionist. My golf partner said: “Did you know that egg protein is the only complete protein with all seven essential amino acids?”
I responded, perhaps more loudly that was appropriate on a golf course: “That’s absolutely not true. And there are eight essential amino acids.”
