Given how inflammatory dairy is, and all the many links it has to so many health problems, I have no idea how it can still be pitched as a health food, but then, old habits die very hard in this country. Seeing how people treat “protein” as a health food is nearly as absurd. SMH.
I don’t think anyone denies it is an essential macronutrient. I’m talking about the bro science you’ll hear all the time from people touting how many grams are in their protein shake, their protein bar and so on.
Of course, the hysteria has been taken up by the restaurant industry now prominently displaying the amount of protein in their items and when ordering food they offer “a protein” to be added on top - which they should call “a fat”, really, because in this context “protein” nearly always equals meat, which is just mind-bogglingly silly.
Idk I wouldn’t demean people who eat protein bars and protein shakes (which are vegetarian sources of protein btw) if they have bigger muscles than you do. Seems like they know what it takes to reach their physical health goals. Unless you have a better way, I’m not sure why you would mock them.
I choose to have a high protein diet because I feel better that way. However, I don’t think all protein = meat, nor animals for that matter. I mix it up a lot.
Hey, whatever works for you. But I cannot tell you how many people assume I am going to die without “protein”. I remember reading a book written by a body builder who actually got his degree in nutrition finding that when measured, most of his supposed “necessary” protein was excreted in his urine, and he really didn’t need anything extra than what he was already getting via normal diet to maintain lean muscle mass. It sounded like he was eating the SAD, but all the protein powders and shakes were mostly hokum.

Protein is an essential macronutrient. Life does not exist without protein. So yes, it is a health food.

I don’t think it is normal to excrete excess protein through urine, as this is a sign of kidney failure
Good news, you can pay premium money for A2 milk that’s less inflammatory 🙃
I’m talking the chronic disease kind of inflammatory, but I guess that’s good for people that are allergic and don’t want to take the hint…
