they went up to I think over two grams per pound there and didn't find any adverse effect on urea and nitrogen and kidney function yeah in people who didn't have pre-existing kidney conditions

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.

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.
So, you know, you might think of it as like the real base level like, you know, economy rental and then there's the the higherend good rental and then there's something further out there where I would say there's less certainty and that's where probably a little more of the debate is.
I I think the evidence is very clear that when you go from the RDA level of point4ish uh grams per pound or8ish grams per kilogram uh up into roughly double or even a little bit more of that roughly two um I know no evidence of harm in any group other than perhaps again the very rarest folks and even that would typically not be protein in general.
Eating more protein was associated with a lower mortality risk in a dose-response fashion for adults with and without chronic kidney disease.
The implications of this are clear: the benefits of protein outweigh any potential risks for adults with chronic kidney disease, especially if they’re older.
