6. Protein: Someone told me recently that protein from something like, say, black beans, can only be absorbed if you eat it with something like whole grain or soy, to make a complete protein. If this is true, why?
I understand you DON'T need to "balance" your aminos in one meal. Generally I'm suspicious of any diet concept which a caveman couldn't understand. How are animals supposed to know what to eat if they need to "balance" their meals?

As for supplements, I hear they are basically useless and even counterproductive as they come in the wrong balance (being artificially concentrated) and the body needs to use other nutrients to balance them out.
