Our fight against expanded use of monkeys in research heats up
By Sara Amundson and Kitty Block We’re pushing back hard against plans to fund expanded reliance on monkeys in experiments in the U.S., plans that would see even more of these intelligent, curious animals used in outdated and unreliable tests, often at taxpayer expense. Instead, we’ve advocated for broader investments in technologically-advanced methods that don’t […]
Should all animals be treated equally in research?
The rights of a cephalopod A new protocol is set to be introduced in the US providing cephalopods (think tentacled sea creatures like octopuses or squid) with rights to protect them from use in research without sufficient authorisation. As it currently stands, there are no ethical guidelines or barriers around the use of invertebrates in […]
New Research Suggests That These Protein Sources Are Not Nutritionally Equivalent
Scientists found that two-ounce-equivalents (oz-eq) of animal-based protein foods provide greater essential amino acids (EAA) bioavailability than the same quantity of plant-based protein foods. The study challenges the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGAs) which suggest these protein sources are nutritionally equivalent. Consuming equal ounce-equivalent portions of animal-based and plant-based protein foods, as per the Dietary […]
