Okay later, too busy reinventing ways to describe photosynthesis

Yes this is what photosynthesis does

Reply to comment by kleiner-Wasserbaer in If collagen is a protein, and proteins are broken down during digestion, why would collagen or collagen supplements be beneficial? Is it just hype? by skepticated
Hmm there is risk as arthritis can be induced by collagen, CIA(collagen induced arthritis). Collagen applied on the skin is not broken down by the stomach, the immune system also breaks down collagen.

nice jumping to incorrect conclusions.

Why ignore them if you think it is beneficial... anyway there's some in all plants and it adds up to be not neglible

Yeah salicylic acid is very high in some plants, cumin I believe has the highest at ~1% by weight if I remember correctly. It was observed that salicylic acid in plant based dieters was potentially higher than those taking low dose aspirin and typically much higher than other subjects. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11429429/

So higher protein diets will have higher amounts of arginine, however, it is the ratio of amino acid that counts most for what is being absorbed in addition to other factors such as blood lipids and what not. Plant based foods have higher ratios but not total amount of several amino acids, arginine being one of those amino acids. This leads to plant based dieters having higher levels of arginine. It is the BCAA that are in a much higher ratio in meat.

"Vegan children had lower protein intake calculated as a percentage of daily energy intake (13.5% compared to 16.4% in omnivores) and showed lower levels of circulating leucine/isoleucine, phenylalanine, valine/betaine, and aspartate and higher levels of alanine, arginine, and glycine."

interestingly a whole food plant-based diet can easily provide the same amount of salicylic acid as low dose asprin and will provide increased arginine levels.

Reply to Too much or too little sleep could be making you sick more. Those who reported sleeping less than six hours a night were 27% more likely to report a recent infection, and those who reported more than nine hours sleep were 44% more likely to report one. by MistWeaver80
It could also make you sick less... just because it is meaningful for a statistical amount of people doesn't mean it is meaningful for you.
