High dietary methionine plus cholesterol bad for fibrosis

[newguy]

An interesting angle. I do have a good diet, but I may give more consideration to taking my eating habits in certain new directions, and seeing if it impacts pain levels etc.

Yesterday I skipped curcumin (since I'm fighting a cold) but avoided methionine in foods and had a very pain free day. I think avoiding big doses of dietary methionine at one sitting might turn out to be a good idea, perhaps limiting methionine to less than 300 mg per meal.

High dietary methionine plus cholesterol was shown to be bad for fibrosis of the heart, at least if you are a rabbit (PMID 16054151). Rabbits in the wild don't eat cholesterol, so take that with a grain of salt.

However, egg whites contain lots of methionine (two large egg whites contain about 400 mg methionine) and egg yolks ... well, you know. I do feel that methionine makes Peyronies Disease worse, and that it might be worthwhile to try minimizing dietary intake of it. And I really like eggs.
