We can't find evidence that holds up here. Proponents are reasoning from mechanism or analogy rather than direct human data, and the most credible skeptics raise objections we can't dismiss.

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.
i think on the topic of protein we're probably under doing it for most people i don't think i was paying enough attention to it and i think the rdas the recommended daily allowances are kind of out to lunch you know the rda for protein is something to the tune of i want to say it's like 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight or something pathetic like that

World Health Organization says 08 grams per kilogram body mass per day but yes maybe you can survive on that that's fine but it's certainly in my beliefs not optimal
the old school recommendations for this much is enough were probably too low 8 uh grams per kilogram body weight is the RDA right and I think many people think that's too low
the old school recommendations for this much is enough were probably too low 8 uh grams per kilogram body weight is the RDA right and I think many people think that's too low that you can survive on it's not that you can't survive but can you thrive
Yeah, I would say with rare exceptions, uh, the answer is probably no one.
if people are listening to this episode just knowing that 0.8 8 g per kilogram body weight per day is just it's not enough at all.
it's very context dependent right to I was kind of in the gym and I was even training with legally facitious. I mean these these guys are out to lunch and they just can't seem to they just want to cling on to this idea that protein is bad. >> Yeah. I they're avoiding like uh work from Donald Layman and Stu Phillips and guys I think you might have had on the podcast, right? So uh yeah, I learned a lot of lessons.
So, I mean, one of the things...the precursor I'd like to start off with is to say people say, you know, "How is protein different than everything else that we eat? What does it do?" And so I often explain to people that carbohydrates and fats, that's fuel. You put that in, and you burn it, or we store it. Unfortunately, we're really good at doing that. But protein is something that when you ingest it, your body has to use it. There's not, like, a little, sort of, place that you can store away the building blocks of protein, which are amino acids and, kind of, use them for later, although your muscle is, sort of, a reservoir of that. So it does turn over a little bit. So when we think about it from a daily recommended intake or what we call the recommended dietary allowance, it's the amount of protein that you need to ingest to replace all of the protein and amino acids that your body loses. And most of it is lost in urine as urea. And I say to people is... I've stopped trying to fight too much against this because I would actually be happy if they just changed the name from recommended dietary allowance to minimal dietary intake.
