Proteins

By: Pang, Ursula

Thousands of types of proteins play essential roles in the human body. While the body produces some of the amino acids it needs, the rest must be supplied through diet. This informative health guide describes what proteins are, their diverse dietary sources, the various functions they serve, and what can result from consuming too much or too little protein. Sidebars define key vocabulary words or contain questions to spur critical thinking.
