NOTE

Rethink Protein Recommendations

Current dietary protein recommendations are based on outdated standards established in the 1980s, focusing on the minimum needs to prevent deficiencies rather than optimal health. These guidelines, originating from agricultural methods to feed animals cost-effectively, stipulate 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram for young men, assuming high-quality protein sources. The distinction between high-quality (animal-based) and low-quality (plant-based) proteins is crucial; the former contains essential amino acids necessary for maintenance and growth. Continuous reliance on these outdated recommendations may not reflect contemporary understanding of nutrition and well-being.
