The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
people are living longer they're getting to be older adults well we know they need more protein and it we know that they become less efficient and utilizing protein so it needs to be of higher quality and greater amounts than you would need as an adult right
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
what we now know is that as you get older the efficiency of that protein turnover goes down so where a 16-year-old uh you give them a certain amount of protein they'll have a very good response a 65y old will have maybe no response at all or you know 10% or something

If not a bodybuilder...prob. don't require as much protein...until older age (ie. 55-60 yo) then protein requirements increase
So, at the time when I think you need more protein and you want to support muscle mass and lean mass as you age, most people's protein intake is actually going down to levels where it becomes limiting to the amount of muscle they can hang on to.
older people have a lower uh anabolic sensitivity and they tend to consume less protein because it's more satiating it's harder to chew in general like if you're talking about animal proteins and so people just kind of end up gravitating away from that
