The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.
if we push protein too high we get to rabbit starvation right if we're not if we're not eating carbohydrates we know there are three macronutrients there's fat protein carbohydrates and if we're not eating carbohydrates on a carnivorous or a low ketogenic low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet if we push protein too high we get to rabbit starvation and at the low end there's an adequate protein and we get sarcopenia
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.

on the low end of protein what you worry about is osteopenia osteoporosis loss of bone density sarcopenia loss of lean muscle mass when you get too little protein on the high end on the extreme high end you get rabbit starvation which is when your human biochemistry basically breaks down because you don't run on protein in a grossly oversimplified way of stating it humans don't run on protein we run on fat or carbohydrate
