The mTOR pathway is likely not the primary driver of dietary protein's effect on cancer, as a key study did not observe a linear increase in cancer incidence with higher protein intake.

“now if you're somebody that either has cancer or you're at high risk for cancer i would drop that down to maybe 0.5.6 gram per kilogram of estimated ideal body weight because one thing you do not want to do if you're wanting to keep cancer at you know at bay or or address it um as something happening in your body you do not want to over consume protein”

“there's ton of confounders to people who eat high protein most protein in these meta analyses looking at cancer I mean you're talking about high protein is above you know 70 grams of protein per day or 1.2 gr per kilogram of body weight okay well where do most people most Americans eat high protein by definition of the RDA but where is it from it's from burgers and hot dogs and like a bunch of processed meat”

“if the intour story were true in ter terms of dietary protein we would have expected in that study to see a linear increase in cancer reg especially at each level of fruit and vegetable intake but we didn't”
