Les acides aminés soufrés (la cystéine et la méthionine) sont présents en plus grande quantité dans les protéines animales [que dans les protéines végétales]; or la consommation moyenne d'un adulte dépasse largement la quantité requise pour être en santé. Consommer ces acides aminés soufrés (AAS) en trop grande quantité a été associé à un risque plus élevé de maladies cardiométaboliques et de certains cancers, indépendamment de la quantité totale de protéines consommée. 2, record 1, French, - acide%20amin%C3%A9%20soufr%C3%A9

Los dos aminoácidos azufrados son esenciales, la metionina estrictamente, mientras que la cisteína puede formarse a partir de la metioniona(no al revés). Las dietas basadas en leguminosas pueden ser deficientes en estos aminoácidos. Adémas, ambos son bastante inestables frente a condiciones de oxidación. 1, record 1, Spanish, - amino%C3%A1cido%20azufrado
