Is taurine really an amino acid?
This is the first time I have seen taurine included in a list of amino acids.
Taurine is referred to as an "amino acid" in the article. It is a common misconception that taurine is an amino acid according to https://sciencenotes.org/why-taurine-is-not-an-amino-acid/
"In addition, cysteine, tyrosine, and arginine are considered semiessential amino acids, and taurine a semiessential aminosulfonic acid in children. The metabolic pathways that synthesize these monomers are not fully developed." says https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amino_acid in its *only* mention of taurine. So is taurine an aminosulfonic acid rather than an amino acid? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfamic_acid says, "Sulfamic acid, also known as amidosulfonic acid, amidosulfuric acid, aminosulfonic acid, sulphamic acid and sulfamidic acid, is a molecular compound with the formula H3NSO3." The article makes no mention of amino acids. So it seems that an aminosulfonic acid is not an amino acid. Polar Apposite (talk) 16:41, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
RDA of essential amino acids table misleading
US NAM figures for RDAs of EAAs/BCAAs are given on the referenced source in "mg/g of protein" rather than "mg/kg of body weight", which makes this table confusing to look at, I believe the US NAM figures all need to be multiplied by 0.8 (the amount of protein per kg weight that is recommended in that same paper), for the numbers to be in a consistent unit.

"This table displays the number of Items in each Category with the same limiting Essential Amino Acid"
I cannot find the numbers presented in this table in its linked sources. Also the title of the table needs to be clarified - what exactly is the "number of items"? What is "restaurant food"? Some of the categories are so vague as to be meaningless. 2600:100E:A001:8308:8CCA:EB83:8396:9A59 (talk) 01:55, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
