ferret15 0 Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 phosphorus and copper are both found in meat. copper rich meats include pork lamb and duck the only foods that don't contain phosphorus are butter margarine and oils Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Protein, Amino acids, comes from meat and vegtable sources, there are essential and non essential amino acids, meat give pretty much all of the essential ones, some vegtable sources can give all the essential ones but only a few ie a variety of pulses. Fats again come from animal or vegtable sources ie fat in or on meat or vegtable oils etc there are mineral oils but these origanally come from organic sorces. Micro nutrients like vitamins and mineral come from the diet ie iron in meat, vegtables etc, calcium meat, bones and vegtables, Vit C,E, A likewise though some can be manafactured in the body ie vit D from sunshine.
