The presence of protein is essential from the very outset. It is present in the egg before a human being or an animal comes into existence. We can therefore say that protein is the substance which really builds up the human body and is the basis upon which it develops; it is the primary and fundamental substance out of which everything else in the body must unfold. Protein is present in the mother's womb as a tiny egg; the fertilisation of the egg enables the protein to become the basis of the human body. But man needs protein all the time; it must be a constituent of his regular food. If his organism contains too little protein, or he cannot thoroughly digest it, he will gradually waste away; but if at any moment of his life he were without protein he would immediately die. Protein is essential both for the beginning of existence and for man's very life. Absence of protein means death.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"III.

Sehen Sie, das muß ja sozusagen von allem Anfang an da sein. Das Eiweiß ist ja schon vorhanden als Ei, bevor das Wesen entsteht, das menschliche, auch das tierische Wesen. So daß wir sagen können: Das Eiweiß, das ist dasjenige, was den Menschen eigentlich bildet, entwickelt; es ist das Ursprüngliche, das zugrunde liegt. Aus dem Eiweiß muß sich alles übrige im Körper erst herausbilden. Das kann man doch verstehen? So daß man also folgendes sagen kann: Das Eiweiß muß überhaupt vom Anfang an da sein, damit der Mensch entstehen kann. Die Mutter bildet das Eiweiß in der Gebärmutter aus in Form eines kleinen Klümpchens. Das Ei wird befruchtet, und durch die Befruchtung wird dann dieses Eiweiß fähig, durch die Dinge, die ich Ihnen geschildert habe, zum Menschen gestaltet zu werden. Aber der Mensch braucht natürlich fortwährend Eiweiß. Daher muß in seiner Nahrung fortwährend Eiweiß enthalten sein. Wenn er zu wenig Eiweiß hat oder wenn er das Eiweiß nicht ordentlich verdauen kann, dann muß er am Eiweißmangel nicht nur ausgezehrt werden — was ihn ja auch allmählich tötet —, aber würde der Mensch in einem Augenblicke seines Lebens überhaupt kein richtiges Eiweiß haben, so müßte er gleich sterben. Geradeso wie das Eiweiß zum Entstehen notwendig ist, so ist das Eiweiß auch notwendig, daß der Mensch überhaupt lebt. So daß wir sagen könnten: Derjenige, der Eiweiß überhaupt nicht verdauen kann, bei dem würde der Tod eintreten.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":237,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/350/1923-09-22/p019"},{"locus":"GA 350/1923-09-22/p020","passage_number":20,"text":"Jetzt schauen wir uns einmal die einzelnen Nahrungsmittel an.

Dann lagern sich noch weiter hinten die Fette ab und füllen von da aus den Körper aus, denn die Fette gehen nicht etwa unmittelbar herein in den Körper, sondern gehen vom Blut in den Kopf, und da werden sie erst für den Körper ausgeschlachtet.
