I have nothing to do with MAOIs, but I'd like to inform you that there are MANY protein products that don't contain "meat extracts".
That sounds disgusting...most of the ones I've taken have been based on milk solids and/or soy products ..."isolates" whatever that is.
And that'd actually explain why the conflict....cuz some kinds are or were probably bad, while some are fine. (Honestly, if you're on a MAOI diet and haven't learned to read labels, you're already in trouble!)I just wanted to clarify that. I'd never buy a nutrition bar of any kind that contained meat products. Eeew. Gross. ("Snickers, a layer of caramel and chewy nougat over a stick of pure beef extract! Mmmm!")
