Growth and nitrogen balance in infants fed cereal proteins

In short-term balance studies, little difference was found in nitrogen retention between milk and various vegetable protein mixtures, and cottonseed and rice alone. Only peanut as the sole protein source was poorer than the other vegetable proteins studied.

Babies fed wheat plus lysine, rice plus cottonseed, or rice plus peanut for 2 to 3 months grew at rates equivalent to those fed milk for an equal period.

The percentage of nitrogen excreted as urea was lower in all babies fed vegetable proteins compared with those fed milk.
