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.

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.
it doesn't seem that that's the level the RDA right8 grams per kilogram uh is the optimal level for health or longevity or anything else
the RDA says I'm crazy right the recommended daily allowance of protein is 0.8 grams per kilogram right Which is less than half of what I would consume
And really what it should be called is the minimal daily allowance. in all I would say it recommended almost sounds like optimal in a way like I think people confuse that with the optimal amount of protein right so it's kind of tricky
In the United States, in Canada, it's about 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram body weight.
