Wow, it gelatin actually a protein? I have such a hard time getting protein

into my son's diet but he loves rice made with homemade turkey stock. Does

anyone know for sure if gelatin contains protein, if so how much?

Thanks,

Yep, it's 98–99% protein by dry weight according to this:

Kim and Suze,

The gelatin I take is Bernard Jensen's 100% Bovine Gelatin from Radiant

Life.

http://www.radiantlifecatalog.com/prod.cfm/ct/2/pid/1054

The gelatin container states it has 12 g of protein per Tbsp. Bone

broth and stock has the gelatin protein in it, but it is not

" complete " , so you should eat it with meat protein. It makes sense;

this is the " whole beast " way of cooking and eating practiced in

traditional cultures.

Here is where I got my information:

http://www.westonaprice.org/askdoctor/gastroparesis.html (look at where

Dr. Cowan says that it is nearly impossible to totally assimilate

cooked foods if we do not have gelatin from bone broths/stocks--he

recommends having stock at every meal.)

http://www.westonaprice.org/foodfeatures/brothisbeautiful.html (this

is a GREAT article--I highly recommend reading it in full...but here is

the relevant snippet: " ...existence of more than 30 years of research

studies showing that gelatin can improve the digestion of milk and milk

products. " )

From my limited experience this is true for me. Whenever I have an

issue with NT foods, I do a search on the westonaprice.org site or the

onibasu.com site. Both are very helpful and it is impowering to do

your own research!

I use to do this regularly, picking up the idea from Dr. Pottenger and

his book Pottenger's Cats. I got away from it thinking I didn't need it

since so much of my diet was raw. But I eat more cooked foods these days

and it is probably a good practice regardless of the composition of my

diet. Anything that can naturally help digestion in my book is

worthwhile.

How do you take the gelatin? Do you mix it in the milk?

Thanks,
