In a message dated 97-09-10 23:05:09 EDT, you write: << Research has shown that as little as 2 tablespoons of milk, for example, can block the effects of Sinemet for over 4 hours! >> Admittedly the amino acids obtained from the metabolism of all protein products are potential sources of interference to the action of L-dopa. A maximum of 7 gm. of protein is recommended in the literature from the various PD support groups, but the RDA (Required Daily Allowance) for proteins is about 0.36 gm./lb. of body weight or from 30 to 60 gm. How then is the recommended 7 gm reconciled with the RDA? what does one substitute for protein that is ubiquitous in most food staples? Michel Margosis
