In the movies Jurassic Park they mention lysine contingency, what does this mean? In relation to nutrition?

Its an amino acid that the body produces.  In the movie they genetically engineer the dinosaurs not to produce it so that unless they are given it in the foods the animals would die incase they ever get off the island.

amino acids.\n\nHere.  These people don't know jack.\n\nAbiotic Production of Organic Molecules\nThe classic experiment demonstrating the mechanisms by which inorganic elements could combine to form the precursors of organic chemicals was the 1950 experiment by Stanley Miller. He undertook experiments designed to find out how lightning--reproduced by repeated electric discharges--might have affected the primitive earth atmosphere. He discharged an electric spark into a mixture thought to resemble the primordial composition of the atmosphere. In a water receptacle, designed to model an ancient ocean, amino acids appeared. Amino acids are widely regarded as the building blocks of life.

Lysine!  All natural and works like a charm!

NONE...ketones are a sign that your body is having to metabolize muscle mass to nourish itself!!  You need to eat more...

listen to t. h. white (sword in the stone author). we will in the end use up all our resources and the organisms that need them will die. it will break off part of the food chain and no other organisms will be able to live. the part of that is what happened to the dinosaurs (likely) and it will probably happen to humans considering how destructive we are.

it causes over weight problem.instant energy that is too much than what is required.so avoid junk food as much as possible

It is not an additive.  Tryptophan is actually an amino acid.  It is an "essential" amino acid, called "essential" because your body cannot produce it on its own.\n\nAmino acids like tryptophan are used in creation of proteins used in all sorts of processes in your body.  Turkeys happen to be able to make their own tryptophan.  As a result, they use it in many cellular structures.\n\nSince tryptophan is not common in most foods that we eat, our bodies have evolved to be able to sort of "pause" translation of proteins that require tryptophan.  This pause can be indefinite, potentially lasting for weeks.  As time passes, more and more proteins pause in translation.  So when you finally get a lot of tryptophan from a rich source like turkey, your body unpauses the building of these proteins.  This can require lots and lots of energy, so you get tired, so that your body can rest and finish translating these proteins.\n\nIf you get a lot of tryptophan in your diet on a regular basis, your body will not get tired when you eat it, since these proteins haven't had time to concentrate themselves in your cells.\n\nedit- I omitted a lot of the technical jargon here, just for clarity's sake.  and btw, tryptophan is NOT a hormone.\n\nedit 2 - lol tryptophan does not act on the brain either.  I don't know where some people get off, trying to pass off BS like that.  If you don't know the answer, don't answer the question, okay?

Why you shouldn't eat fast food. I did a speech on this last semester and my professor and peers loved it. You can use clips from the movie "Super Size Me" as a visual aid.

click on this link http://www.tiem.utk.edu/~gross/bioed/webmodules/aminoacid.htm and look through the table. the answer should be there.

What are you measuring?\n\nIn our GC experiments, we noticed that cysteine tended to oxidize in the air. Not sure if that helps any.

amino acids, but the whole experiment was biased. why? they assumed that the first chemicals in the "primordial pool" were methane, ammonia, hydrogen and water. there is debate on this now because NASA has determined that the earth's "primordial soup" was not made of that. Water, oxygen and nitrogen seem to be more along the lines of reality. besides, linking amino acids together to form proteins is remarkably easy. if you are smart. by chance it "is about the same as the probability that a tornado sweeping through a junk yard could assemble a 747 from the contents therein" as Fredrick Hoyle has said (smart beyond belief, but weird)

Lysine. It'll take care of them overnight. It's in the vitamin section.

Nope, it only means that we hunger for something that we like.  Our body tells us that we are lacking certain nutrients by making us dizzy, causing us to have deficiency diseases....basically responding physically, not mentally.

I've never heard the term "polypeptide phrase" before, maybe they mean "polypeptide chain"? That's just a string of amino acids. It would help if you actually had the example in the question, then I could help better.

Soy: The Next Asbestos?\n"Against the backdrop of widespread praise. . . there is growing suspicion that soy—despite its undisputed benefits—may pose some health hazards," writes Marian Burros, a leading food writer for the New York Times.\n\n Vegetarians who consume tofu and bean curd as a substitute for meat and dairy products risk severe mineral deficiencies. The results of calcium, magnesium and iron deficiency are well known, those of zinc are less so. Zinc is called the intelligence mineral because it is needed for optimal development and functioning of the brain and nervous system. It plays a role in protein synthesis and collagen formation; it is involved in the blood sugar control mechanism and thus protects against diabetes; it is needed for a healthy reproductive system. Zinc is a key component in numerous vital enzymes and plays a role in the immune system. Phytates found in soy products interfere with zinc absorption more completely than with other minerals.19 Zinc deficiency can cause a "spacy" feeling that some vegetarians may mistake for the "high" of spiritual enlightenment.\n\nProduction takes place in industrial factories where a slurry of soy beans is first mixed with an alkaline solution to remove fiber, then precipitated and separated using an acid wash and finally neutralized in an alkaline solution. Acid washing in aluminum tanks leaches high levels of aluminum into the final product. The resultant curds are spray dried at high temperatures to produce a high protein powder. A final indignity to the original soy bean is high-temperature, high-pressure extrusion processing of soy protein isolate to produce textured vegetable protein (TVP).\nMuch of the trypsin inhibitor content can be removed through high-temperature processing, but not all. Trypsin inhibitor content of soy protein isolate can vary as much as fivefold.21 (In rats, even low-level-trypsin-inhibitor SPI feeding results in reduced weight gain compared to controls.22) But high-temperature processing has the unfortunate side effect of so denaturing the other proteins in soy that they are rendered largely ineffective.23 That's why animals on soy feed need lysine supplements for normal growth.\nNitrites, which are potent carcinogens, are formed during spray drying, and a toxin called lysinoalanine is formed during alkaline processing.24 Numerous artificial flavorings, particularly MSG, are added to soy protein isolate and textured vegetable protein products to mask their strong "beany" taste, and impart the flavor of meat.25\nIn feeding experiments, use of SPI increased requirements for vitamins E, K, D and B12 and created deficiency symptoms of calcium, magnesium, manganese, molybdenum, copper, iron and zinc.26 Phytic acid remaining in these soy products greatly inhibits zinc and iron absorption; test animals fed SPI develop enlarged organs, particularly the pancreas and thyroid gland, and increased deposition of fatty acids in the liver.27 Yet soy protein isolate and textured vegetable protein are used extensively in school lunch programs, commercial baked goods, diet beverages and fast food products. They are heavily promoted in Third World countries and form the basis of many food giveaway programs. \n\nSource:
