Amino Acid Composition of Protein

The active immune system (NO-) for recovery of being sick like having a cold or flu is based on arginine.  When there is a surplus of lysine the immune system is limited.  High levels of lysine are fond in disease causing bacteria.  Lysine breaks down arginine.  Foods with high arginine and low lysine improve our immune systems.  The ratio of arginine to lysine in whey is 0.37:1, rice 2.7:1 and peanuts  3.4:1 to make whey unhealthy, rice healthy and peanuts most healthy.
