But I should also add that my hypothesis for which I have claimed proof by the Oxford group, is quite limited: It merely states that a typical omnivorous diet, rich in meat fish and poultry should produce plasma levels of glycine which are lower than those of vegans, even though the total daily intake of glycine be higher than that of vegans. The Oxford study did in fact prove that to be true, at least for healthy UK men in their 30s and 40s. Of course it will take more studies by other researchers on other groups of men and women to corroborate the Oxford study, to provide convincing proof that it is generally true. Louie Shackleton
