Jeff: You are naive. Start using your own brain instead of relying exclusively on all these so called scientific studies. Protein requires a lot more effort to process than carbohydrate or fat by the body. The difference is splitting that Nitrogen molecule off and removing the excess nitrogen that forms amonia. This is why excess proteinproductive in terms of diet and aging. You are still young. Very young. Look at most of the older body builders. They don't age very much better than the non bodybuilders. The excess protein ages the body. Especially animal protein. Do yourself a favor and watch the movie forks over knives. It will explain some things you haven't heard before.

Hey Jeff, I wish I had more answers because my grandmother and both her daughters (including my mother) has polysistic kidney disease. Unfortunately the doctors say that you cannot really ever determine that you don't carry the disease because it can show up in your late 40's (even if you were tested at my age 19 and didn't positively show the disease. I love bodybuilding and I read the paper you show in this video but it doesn't help me decide whether to go with the 0. 4g / pound of bodyweight per meal or to go lower. Sorry for the long comment. Any advice would be much appreciated. Love your videos, keep em rollinJosh

Jeff, love your science videos. If I may I suggest something in terms of constructive input - this 100% not criticism - for you to check and report who was behind and who funded the studies pertaining to matters like diet and disease? Our lecturers always (and rightfully) drummed it into us that no matter how ground bbreaking a published study was to always ask if the given researchers of any work had a conflict of interest either by funding or affiliation, let alone method. There's a lot of special interest, esp in the US, when it comes to public policy on food and drug administration.

How do you keep a healthy skepticism or critique the studies you read in light that evidence based science can often be biased. Meaning that studies are often pressured to find their hypothesis to be true and often their grants or funding comes from conflicts of interest such as members of the milk industry funding studies that promote milks health benefits. Im not indicating that this is the case here, but with this conundrum being all too common how do you asses the merit of the studies you reference?

I'd be curious, Jeff, to hear your thoughts on the impact of dietary sugar in the development of diabetes. What if, say, two identical individuals are eating in a caloric excess, so to speak. One individual is acquiring majority of the excess from carbohydrates, while the other is eating a high fat, high protein diet with little to no dietary carbohydrates. Is the former at a higher risk of developing metabolic syndrome and eventual diabetes, or do they both have equal risk?

Awful straw man argument. Your thumbnail asks are high protein diets dangerous and you show a bunch of animal protein sources. The case against animal products goes far beyond kidney function and calcium leaching. The major causes of death are strongly linked to consumption of animal products. That's the overwhelming scientific consensus. Someone eating that crap is racing towards heart disease and cancer. Osteoporosis should be the least of their concerns SMH.

Hi Jeff, I am really loving your science-supported content so far. What I'd like to see you cover next is the ketogenic diet, and the claim in support of the ketogenic diet that it is a preferred alternative to the regular high-carb diet because the latter is said to cause cancer. I'd also like to know if you've tried keto yourself, and what you think of it. Am really excited to know what your views are on these issues so please make a video

The key point is that high protein has an acid ash, and acidosis (even mild acidosis) does, other things being equal, increase loss of lean tissues including bone. See papers by Sebastian and others, pubmed. Acidosis also hurts the kidneys. All easily preventable by increasing veggie intake, or by taking bicarb, preferably potassium bicarb. And remember tomato paste: cheap, highly-concentrated, convenient alkaline veggies.

Great video, I would like you to talk about quantity of protein intake for mass gain, for weight loss, for an athlete. And that would be great if you could cover the protein synthesis for someone that just started to workout versus someone with experience. Do they have the same protein intake or the person with more experience has to less protein since she can synthesis protein better. Thank you for your content.

Yes please, a more in depth video about protein would be great I am kind of a vegan/vegetarian and go off and on with some animal proteins such as goat cheese and eggs. But stick consistently with pea protein, bone broth, and collagen protein powder. I have worked in the nutrition field for years and the protein debate is so huge that I'd love to hear your ideas on it.
