Les nutritionnistes mentionnent fréquemment les acides aminés indispensables dans l'alimentation comme étant des acides aminés «essentiels» ou «indispensables» et les acides aminés non indispensables dans l'alimentation comme étant des acides aminés «non essentiels» ou «non indispensables». Même si dans le contexte de la nutrition ces termes sont corrects, il est malheureux qu'ils masquent le caractère biologiquement essentiel de tous les 20 acides aminés. 1, record 1, French, - acide%20amin%C3%A9%20non%20indispensable
