It is very essential for the students to know about 22amino acids and the sources from daily life food and their function in our body. So that students from their childhood can able to understand what to eat and what not to. Being a teacher it's our duty to maintain the students health in this pollutionised era and impose on them health is equally nesssary as study to survive.
I think its because our educators are either complacent or do no keep up with information that is now 20 years old. Many bacteria have more than 20 or different consortium of amino acids but the basis for humans having an amino acid is a corresponding amino-acyl t-RNA. I think students should have better educators and for Universities to not simply keep seeking money and to stop using adjuncts to fill every gap they have.
I consider it necessary to teach of amino acids in schools, if one takes into account, the care that each one has to have with himself. This way we would avoid many diseases, from individual responsibility.
