A major scientific review is challenging the idea that more protein is always better.

The review, led by pathologist and biomedical researcher Dudley Lamming and published in the journal Cell Press Blue, examined more than 350 studies involving humans, mice, insects, yeast, and other organisms.

The review found that eating less protein, or less of certain amino acids that make up protein, may turn on body processes linked to healthier aging, as well as metabolism, the process by which the body turns food and drinks into energy.

    I doubt protein is the problem. It’s almost always animal protein that’s the problem

    Beans and nuts and seitan are all super healthy

    The next time you’re at a restaurant and they ask what protein you want, tell them beans.
