Be cautious of extreme protein intake myths
The myth about excessive protein intake leading to artery damage specifically during breakfast is unfounded as it may be driven by an agenda or to garner attention. The argument that protein stimulates mTOR, which could promote cancer, is disproven as it applies to unhealthy environments. In a healthy environment, mTOR aids in muscle building and recovery. The concern that increasing protein consumption would lead to higher calorie intake and weight gain is not supported by concrete evidence.
